GBP5 Promotes NLRP3 Inflammasome Assembly and Immunity in Mammals
30 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
Inflammasomes are sensory complexes that alert the immune system to the presence of infection or tissue damage. These complexes assemble NLR (nucleotide binding and oligomerization, leucine-rich repeat) or ALR (absent in melanoma 2-like receptor) proteins to activate caspase-1 cleavage and interleukin (IL)-1β/IL-18 secretion. Here, we identified a non-NLR/ALR human protein that stimulates inflammasome assembly:...
