Molecular basis of caspase-1 polymerization and its inhibition by a new capping mechanism

Molecular basis of caspase-1 polymerization and its inhibition by a new capping mechanism

Inflammasomes are cytosolic caspase-1-activation complexes that sense intrinsic and extrinsic danger signals, and trigger inflammatory responses and pyroptotic cell death. Homotypic interactions among Pyrin domains and caspase recruitment domains (CARDs) in inflammasome-complex components mediate ol...
