HSC70 regulates cold-induced caspase-1 hyperactivation by an autoinflammation-causing mutant of cytoplasmic immune receptor NLRC4
2019-03-15
Abstract excerpt
NLRC4 is an innate immune receptor, which upon detection of certain pathogens or internal distress signal, initiates caspase-1 mediated inflammatory response. A gain-of-function mutation, H443P in NLRC4, causes familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) characterized by cold-induced hyperactivation of caspase-1 and inflammation. Here, we show that heat shock cognate protein 70 (HSC70) complexes with NLRC4 and...
