RSK2 is a member of Ribosomal S6 kinases family, which is downstream of the mitogen-regulated Ras/ERK-MAP kinase signaling pathway.We found that RSK2 phosphorylates caspase-8 and Thr263 was identified as a novel caspase-8 phosphorylation site.Phosphorylation of Thr263 is associated with the ubiquitination and degradation ofcaspase through the proteasome pathway.Results suggested that RSK2 regulates caspase-8 stability through its phosphorylation of this caspase.
