Abstract excerpt
Mutations in NLRP3 can cause a spectrum of the autoinflammatory cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a central role in NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Here we show that cofilin-1, an actin-severing protein, is a negative regulator of the NLRP3 inflammasome. In resting cells, cofilin-1 directly bound NLRP3, but after stimulation with NLRP3 inflammasome activators, it...
