"Targeting the USP53RIPK1 axis could be a potential strategy for the treatment of alcohol-associated myocardial damage."

"Our work elucidates the pathogenic role of the USP53RIPK1 signaling axis in EtOH-induced cardiomyopathy, providing a novel molecular target for therapeutic intervention."

sparser
"USP53 interacts with the intermediate domain of RIPK1 via its C-terminal region."

sparser
"Cotransfection of USP53 mutants and HA-tagged RIPK1 in HEK-293T cells showed that both the full length and the C terminus of USP53 could interact with RIPK1, but not the N terminus of USP53, which indicated that the C terminus of USP53 was essential for interacting with RIPK1 (Fig. xref J)."

sparser
"Subsequently, USP53 interacted with the intermediate domain of RIPK1 and removed K63-linked ubiquitination at lysine-377 (K377), facilitating RIPK1 phosphorylation and triggering downstream apoptotic and necroptotic pathways in cardiac cells."

sparser
"USP53 directly binds to RIPK1 and triggers its kinase activity by removing the K63-linked ubiquitin chain at the lysine-377 (K377) site, which in turn drives apoptosis and necroptosis, and exacerbates ACM."

sparser
"However, Co-IP assay revealed that the K377R mutation did not affect the interaction between RIPK1 and USP53 (Fig. xref G)."

sparser
"These results highlight the USP53RIPK1 signaling axis as a potential therapeutic target for mitigating ACM progression."

sparser
"These findings revealed the critical role of USP53RIPK1 interaction in driving alcoholic CM injury and ACM."

sparser
"Mechanistically, USP53 directly interacts with RIPK1 and activates RIPK1 kinase activity by disrupting K63-linked ubiquitination at K377, the major K63 ubiquitination site in human RIPK1 [ xref ]."
