Structural basis for distinct inflammasome complex assembly by human NLRP1 and CARD8

Structural basis for distinct inflammasome complex assembly by human NLRP1 and CARD8

NLRP1 and CARD8 are two recently described sensor proteins for the human inflammasome complex. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM CARD filament structures of the NLRP1 and CARD8 activating domains, which reveal how NLRP1 and CARD8 discriminate between ASC and pro-caspase-1. They further propose a...
