Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Zoonotic pathogens, such as COVID-19, reside in animal hosts before jumping species to infect humans. The Carnivora, like mink, carry many zoonoses, yet how diversity in host immune genes across species affect pathogen carriage is poorly ...

Caspase-9 cleavage: do you need it
, 2007 Caspase-9 which is activated by association with the Apaf-1 apoptosome complex cleaves and activates the downstream effector caspases-3 and -7, thereby executing the caspase-cascade and cell death programme.

Increased expression of caspase 1 during active phase of connective tissue disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Key factors of pyroptosis play an important role in the inflammatory response to connective tissue disease (CTD). However, information on active and stable stages of CTD is scarce.

Pyroptosis- What We Know and the Road Ahead! [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2022 Pyroptosis, a type of cell death, initiated by proinflammatory signals, is classically associated with inflammation. It was thought to occur mainly in macrophages and leukocytes during inflammatory conditions and involves the activation of caspase 1 ...

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.

Autophagy May Allow a Cell to Forbear Pyroptosis When Confronted With Cytosol-Invasive Bacteria
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Inflammatory caspases detect cytosol-invasive Gram-negative bacteria by monitoring for the presence of LPS in the cytosol. This should provide defense against the cytosol-invasive Burkholderia and Shigella species by lysing the infected cell via ...

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.

Pyroptosis: A Common Feature of Immune Cells of Haemodialysis Patients
Toxins, 2021 NLRP-3 inflammasome activation can result in interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release and inflammatory cell death (pyroptosis). Caspase-1 is able to trigger both processes.

GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis restrains intracellular Chlamydia trachomatis growth in macrophages
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Pyroptosis, a type of programmed necrosis associated with inflammatory, is a host defense mechanism against microbial infections. Although Chlamydia has been shown to induce pyroptosis, whether pyroptosis directly impacts the growth of Chlamydia has not ...
