NLRP3 leucine-rich repeats control induced and spontaneous inflammasome activation in cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome
6 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) comprise a group of rare autoinflammatory diseases caused by gain-of-function mutations in the NLRP3 gene. NLRP3 contains a leucine-rich repeats (LRR) domain with a highly conserved exonic organization that is subjected to extensive alternative splicing. Aberrant NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in CAPS causes chronic inflammation; however, the mechanisms...
