Updated project metadata. PIP2 enhances MLKL channel activity in a direct interaction manner and this gain of function promotes both necroptosis and inflammation. Previous studies have reported that phospholipids assisted MLKL recruitment and translocation which facilitates its mediated function like liposome leaking. Here, our result support MLKL act as ion channel and is finely tuned by PIP2. In the immune process especially, PIP2, as an important modulator, promotes intracellular potassium depletion and trigger inflammation which mediated bythrough MLKL channel function. Defining the role of MLKL channel function in MLKL-induced necroptosis or other potential necroptotic models will extend our understanding of the programmed cell death and critically inform the development and testing of new disease-specific, Anti-inflammatory, therapeutic strategies.
