Necroptosis is a mode of programmed cell death executed by the mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) pseudokinase following its activation by the upstream receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3), subsequent to activation of death, Toll-like, and pathogen receptors. The pathway originates in innate immunity, although interest has surged in therapeutically targeting necroptosis owing to its dysregulation in inflammatory diseases. Here, we explore how protein conformation and higher order assembly of the pathway effectors - Z-DNA-binding protein-1 (ZBP1), RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL - can be modulated by post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, and lipidation, and intermolecular interactions to tune activities and modulate necroptotic signaling flux.

Melatonin is considered a multifunctional stress metabolite and a novel plant hormone affecting seed germination, root architecture, circadian rhythms, leaf senescence, and fruit ripening. Melatonin functions related to plant adaptation to stress stimuli of various natures are considered especially important. One of the key components of melatonin's stress-protective action is its ability to neutralise reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species directly.

GALNT2, also known as polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2, is an enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of O-linked glycosylation, a crucial posttranslational modification that affects protein folding, stability, and function. Alterations in GALNT2 activity have been implicated in various diseases, such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, highlighting its importance in maintaining normal physiological functions. To investigate the impact of GalNT2 overexpression in vivo for the first time, we generated a conditional transgenic mouse line in which GalNT2 was expressed specifically in the pancreas.
