OR3-001 – RIP2 kinase is activated in Blau Syndrome and IBD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Blau Syndrome (Blau) is a granulomatous auto-inflammatory disease caused by mutations in NOD2 that have been proposed to result in phosphorylation of RIP2 kinase and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Such monogenic diseases can bring to light pathways that are also likely to be involved in more genetically complex diseases. For example, increased RIP2 phosphorylation has been observed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although the role of RIP2 in IBD has not been determined. We are developing a first-in-class, highly potent and selective inhibitor of RIP2 kinase, which may provide therapeutic benefit in both Blau and IBD.

RIP2, a checkpoint in myogenic differentiation.
Using a subtractive cDNA library hybridization approach, we found that receptor interacting protein 2 (RIP2), a tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR-1)-associated factor, is a novel early-acting gene that decreases markedly in expression during myogenic differentiation. RIP2 consists of three domains: an amino-terminal kinase domain, an intermediate domain, and a carboxy-terminal caspase acti...
متن کاملNOD2 pathway activation by MDP or Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection involves the stable polyubiquitination of Rip2.
The Rip2 kinase contains a caspase recruitment domain and has been implicated in the activation of the transcriptional factor NF-kappaB downstream of Toll-like receptors, Nod-like receptors, and the T cell receptor. Although Rip2 has been linked to Nod signaling, how Nod-Rip2 proteins mediate NF-kappaB activation has remained unclear. We find Rip2 required for Nod2-mediated NF-kappaB activation...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of cytokine production by muramyl dipeptide.
MDP (muramyl dipeptide), a component of peptidoglycan, interacts with NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2) stimulating the NOD2-RIP2 (receptor-interacting protein 2) complex to activate signalling pathways important for antibacterial defence. Here we demonstrate that the protein kinase activity of RIP2 has two functions, namely to limit the strength of downstream signalling and to...
متن کاملNOD2 Pathway Activation by MDP or Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection Involves the Stable Polyubiquitination
The Rip2 kinase contains a caspase recruitment domain and has been implicated in the activation of the transcriptional factor NF-!B downstream of Toll-like receptors, Nod-like receptors, and the T cell receptor. Although Rip2 has been linked to Nod signaling, how Nod-Rip2 proteins mediate NF-!B activation has remained unclear. We find Rip2 required for Nod2mediated NF-!B activation and to a les...
متن کاملStructures of the inactive and active states of RIP2 kinase inform on the mechanism of activation
Innate immune receptors NOD1 and NOD2 are activated by bacterial peptidoglycans leading to recruitment of adaptor kinase RIP2, which, upon phosphorylation and ubiquitination, becomes a scaffold for downstream effectors. The kinase domain (RIP2K) is a pharmaceutical target for inflammatory diseases caused by aberrant NOD2-RIP2 signalling. Although structures of active RIP2K in complex with inhib...
