Shiga toxin suppresses noncanonical inflammasome responses to cytosolic LPS
13 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
(EHEC) is a clinically important human pathogen causing hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. We found that a bacteriophage-encoded virulence factor of EHEC, Shiga toxin (Stx), suppresses caspase-11-mediated activation of the cytosolic LPS sensing pathway. Stx was essential and sufficient to inhibit pyroptosis and interleukin-1 (IL-1) responses elicited specifically by cytosolic LPS. The catalytic...
