Abstract excerpt
SignificanceThe nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) is a pattern recognition receptor that forms an inflammasome. The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the dodecameric form of full-length NLRP3 bound to the clinically relevant NLRP3-specific inhibitor MCC950 has established the structural basis for the oligomerization-mediated regulation of NLRP3...
