Caspase-11 cleaves gasdermin D for non-canonical inflammasome signalling [PDF]
Intracellular lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, and Burkholderia thailandensis activates mouse caspase-11, causing pyroptotic cell death, interleukin-1β processing, and lethal septic shock.

Crystal structure of caspase-11 CARD provides insights into caspase-11 activation. [PDF]
AbstractMurine caspase-11 is the centerpiece of the non-canonical inflammasome pathway that can respond to intracellular LPS and induce pyroptosis. Caspase-11 contains two components, an N-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and a C-terminal catalytic domain.

Noncanonical inflammasomes: caspase-11 activation and effector mechanisms.
Inflammasomes are cytosolic, multiprotein complexes assembled by members of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) and PYHIN protein families in response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and danger signals, and serve as activation platforms for caspase-1.

Autophagy May Allow a Cell to Forbear Pyroptosis When Confronted With Cytosol-Invasive Bacteria
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 ...

Western blot of pro- and cleaved caspase-3 [ratio to ß-actin]. Shown are representative blots separated by location of lung tissue sampling (contusion site, ipsilateral control, and contralateral control). Lung tissue samples were homogenized, separated,

GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis restrains intracellular Chlamydia trachomatis growth in macrophages
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 ...

Shigella evades pyroptosis by arginine ADP-riboxanation of caspase-11 [PDF]
Mouse caspase-11 and human caspase-4 and caspase-5 recognize cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce pyroptosis by cleaving the pore-forming protein GSDMD1-5. This non-canonical inflammasome defends against Gram-negative bacteria6,7. Shigella flexneri, which causes bacillary dysentery, lives freely within the host cytosol where these caspases ...

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-8 contributes to TNF-licensed release of IL-1 family cytokines, but not expression of caspase-11, following L. pneumophila infection. [PDF]
Ripk3-/- and Ripk3-/-Casp8-/- BMDMs were primed with either 10 ng/mL rTNF or PBS mock control for 16 hours prior to infection with non-replicating ΔflaA L. pneumophila at MOI = 50. (A) Supernatants were analyzed by ELISA at 24 hpi.

Caspase-11: The Noncanonical Guardian of Cytosolic Sanctity [PDF]
Caspase-11 controls a noncanonical inflammasome that responds to Gram-negative bacteria and certain pore-forming toxins. Aachoui et al. (2013) and Case et al. (2013) identify a role for caspase-11 in rapid responses to bacterial pathogens that access the cytosol via vacuolar membrane disruption or the activity of specialized secretion systems.
