Cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases determines pyroptotic cell death

J Shi, Y Zhao, K Wang, X Shi, Y Wang, H Huang… - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Inflammatory caspases (caspase-1, -4, -5 and -11) are critical for innate defences. Caspase-1
is activated by ligands of various canonical inflammasomes, and caspase-4, -5 and -11 …

Pore-forming activity and structural autoinhibition of the gasdermin family

…, K Wang, W Liu, Y She, Q Sun, J Shi, H Sun, DC Wang… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Inflammatory caspases cleave the gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein to trigger pyroptosis, a
lytic form of cell death that is crucial for immune defences and diseases. GSDMD contains a …
