Mechanism of filament formation in UPA-promoted CARD8 and NLRP1 inflammasomes

Pathogen triggered N-terminal degradation of NLRP1 and CARD8 by the proteasome releases their C-terminal UPA-CARD fragments (CT) to form the inflammasome, which in turn activates caspase-1. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of the NLRP1-CT and CARD8-CT helical filaments as well as the...
