Activation of the NLRP1B inflammasome by caspase-8 [PDF]
Communications BiologyCleavage of the innate immune receptor NLRP1B by various microbial proteases causes the proteasomal degradation of its N-terminal fragment and the subsequent release of a C-terminal fragment that forms an inflammasome.

The CULt of Caspase-8 Ubiquitination [PDF]
Cell, 2009 Caspase-8 is activated at the plasma membrane by the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). Jin et al. (2009) show that polyubiquitination of caspase-8, rather than targeting it for proteasomal degradation, is critical for sustaining caspase-8 activity after dissociation from the DISC.

Caspase‐8 in Apoptosis: The Beginning of “The End”? [PDF]
IUBMB Life, 2000 AbstractCaspase‐8 is a member of the cysteine proteases, which are implicated in apoptosis and cytokine processing. Like all caspases, caspase‐8 is synthesized as an inactive single polypeptide chain zymogen procaspase and is activated by proteolytic cleavage, through either autoactivation after recruitment into a multimeric complex or trans‐cleavage ...

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 ...
