Necroptosis signaling pathways. Necroptosis can be induced through multiple signaling pathways that converge on RIP3. RIP3 is activated through interaction with a RHIM-containing protein in the following pathways: RIP1 (TNF family death receptors and type I IFNRs); TRIF (TLR3/4); DAI (M45/vIRA) mutant MCMV infection); HSV R1 (HSV infection in the mouse cells). Activated RIP3 phosphorylates its substrate MLKL and this event drives MLKL oligomerization and translocation to the plasma membrane, leading to necroptosis
