Distinct axial and lateral interactions within homologous filaments dictate the signaling specificity and order of the AIM2-ASC inflammasome

AIM2-ASC inflammasomes are filamentous signalling platforms that play a central role in host innate defence. Here, the authors present the filament cryo-EM structure of the inflammasome receptor AIM2, which is very similar to the adaptor ASC filament structure. By employing Rosetta and Molecular Dyn...
