Diphtheria toxin activates ribotoxic stress and NLRP1 inflammasome-driven pyroptosis. [PDF]
J Exp Med, 2023 \ua9 2023 Robinson et al. The ZAKα-driven ribotoxic stress response (RSR) is activated by ribosome stalling and/or collisions. Recent work demonstrates that RSR also plays a role in innate immunity by activating the human NLRP1 inflammasome.
