The mixed lineage kinase domain-like(MLKL)protein is a key factor in tumor necrosis factor-induced necroptosis.Recent studies on necroptosis execution revealed a commitment role of MLKL in membrane disruption.However,our knowledge of how MLKL functions on membrane remains very limited.Here we demonstrate that MLKL forms cation channels that are permeable preferentially to Mg2+rather than Ca2+in the presence of Na+and K+.Moreover,the N-terminal domain containing six helices(H1-H6)is sufficient to form channels.Using the substituted cysteine accessibility method,we further determine that helix H1,H2,H3,H5 and H6 are transmembrane segments,while H4 is located in the cytoplasm.Finally,MLKL-induced membrane depolarization and cell death exhibit a positive correlation to its channel activity.The Mg2+-preferred permeability and five transmembrane segment topology distinguish MLKL from previously identified Mg2+-permeable channels and thus establish MLKL as a novel class of cation channels.
