Characterization of GSDME in amphioxus provides insights into the functional evolution of GSDM-mediated pyroptosis.

Members of the gasdermin (GSDM) family are pore-forming effectors that cause membrane permeabilization and pyroptosis, a lytic proinflammatory type of cell death. To reveal the functional evolution of GSDM-mediated pyroptosis at the transition from invertebrates to vertebrates, we conducted function...
