Abstract excerpt
Inflammasomes are filamentous signaling platforms integral to innate immunity. Currently, little is known about how these structurally similar filaments recognize and distinguish one another. A cryo-EM structure of the AIM2PYD filament reveals that the architecture of the upstream filament is essentially identical to that of the adaptor ASCPYD filament. In silico simulations using Rosetta and molecular dynamics...
