Novel extracellular and nuclear caspase-1 and inflammasomes propagate inflammation and regulate gene expression: a comprehensive database mining study
14 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Caspase-1 is present in the cytosol as an inactive zymogen and requires the protein complexes named "inflammasomes" for proteolytic activation. However, it remains unclear whether the proteolytic activity of caspase-1 is confined only to the cytosol where inflammasomes are assembled to convert inactive pro-caspase-1 to active caspase-1. METHODS: We conducted meticulous data analysis methods on...
