Antagonistic nanobodies implicate mechanism of GSDMD pore formation and potential therapeutic application

Abstract Inflammasome activation results in the cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD) by pro-inflammatory caspases. The N-terminal domains (GSDMDNT) oligomerize and assemble pores penetrating the target membrane. As methods to study pore formation in living cells are insufficient, the order of conformatio...
