RAB39a binds caspase-1 and is required for caspase-1-dependent interleukin-1β secretion. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by unconventional means in a caspase-1-dependent manner. Using a one-step immunoprecipitation approach to isolate endogenous caspase-1 from the monocytic THP1 cell line, we identified previously undescribed binding partners using mass spectrometry.

An Apoptotic Caspase Network Safeguards Cell Death Induction in Pyroptotic Macrophages
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Pyroptosis has emerged as a key mechanism by which inflammasomes promote host defense against microbial pathogens and sterile inflammation. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated cell lysis is a hallmark of pyroptosis, but our understanding of cell death ...

An Allosteric Circuit in Caspase-1 [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2008 Structural studies of caspase-1 reveal that the dimeric thiol protease can exist in two states: in an on-state, when the active site is occupied, or in an off-state, when the active site is empty or when the enzyme is bound by a synthetic allosteric ligand at the dimer interface approximately 15 A from the active site.

Neutrophil Caspase-11 Is Essential to Defend against a Cytosol-Invasive Bacterium
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Either caspase-1 or caspase-11 can cleave gasdermin D to cause pyroptosis, eliminating intracellular replication niches. We previously showed that macrophages detect Burkholderia thailandensis via NLRC4, triggering the release of interleukin (IL)

Thalidomide Inhibits Activation of Caspase-1 [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2009 Abstract Thalidomide is an efficient anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic drug, but its therapeutic use is problematic due to a strong teratogenic activity. Nevertheless, thalidomide was approved for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases and certain types of cancer, and it is extensively tested for several other indications ...

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2022 The present study was conducted to evaluate the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) genes in oocytes cultured in vitro with optimum and elevated doses of amphiregulin (50 ng and

YopM Puts Caspase-1 on Ice [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2012 Caspase-1-mediated detection of pathogens is a potent arm of the innate immune system. LaRock and Cookson (2012) show that the Yersinia type III secretion effector, YopM, directly inhibits caspase-1.

Cells, 2022 The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic multimeric protein platform that leads to the activation of the protease zymogen, caspase-1 (CASP1). Inflammasome activation mediates the proteolytic activation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18) and ...

Caspase-1: The inflammasome and beyond [PDF]
Innate Immunity, 2013 Caspase-1 plays a fundamental role in innate immunity and in several important inflammatory diseases as the protease activates the pro-inflammatory cytokines proIL-1β and proIL-18. Caspase-1 itself is activated in different inflammasome complexes, which assemble in response to a variety of exogenous and endogenous stressors. More recently, pyroptosis,
