Caspase-1 self-terminates protease activity to enforce homeostasis and prevent inflammasome-driven diseases
2025-04-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Signal shutdown mechanisms must exist to silence the potent inflammatory programs initiated by the caspase-1 (CASP1) protease, to allow inflammation to resolve and reinstate tissue homeostasis. It is unknown how CASP1 terminates its activity in vivo . Here, we use a knock-in mouse model in which the CASP1 CARD domain linker (CDL) is mutated to prevent self-cleavage ( Casp1.CDL mice) to show tha...
