The intricate biophysical puzzle of caspase-1 activation
2021, Archives of Biochemistry and BiophysicsCitation Excerpt :Hence, caspase-1 ε is not catalytically active, but can inhibit activity of caspase-1 α by binding to the p20 subunit [53,54]. The β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ variants have missing or truncated CARDs [52], but the isoforms in that group with full catalytic subunits (α, β, γ) still have apoptotic properties [53]. Thus, caspase-1 variants that lack or have truncated catalytic domains (δ, ε) are not active, yet can have regulatory properties via inhibition [53], while isoforms with missing or truncated N-terminal regions (β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ) likely do not participate in CARD-CARD interactions, but if catalytically active, can mediate inflammatory or apoptotic pathways.
A novel caspase-1 mediates inflammatory responses and pyroptosis in sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus
2019, AquacultureCitation Excerpt :In vertebrates, cleavage of GSDMD by caspase-1 is a key execution event in pyroptosis (He et al., 2015; Shi et al., 2015), thus indicating that Ajcaspase-1 may be involved in pyroptosis. Feng et al. (2004) found that caspase-1ζ has a function similar to that of caspase-1α, which could induce apoptosis when transfected into HEK293 cells. We also detected the apoptosis rate of HEK293 cells but found no significant change after transfection with Ajcaspase-1 (data not shown).
The complex role of inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases - Lessons learned from experimental models
2014, Cytokine and Growth Factor ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Caspase-1 is an intracellular cysteine protease whose major function is in the processing and mature release of IL-1β and IL-18. ASC and inflammasomes activate caspase-1 whereas caspase-12, proteinase inhibitor-9, CARD8 and intact pyrins are described to be inhibitors of caspase-1 [32–34]. Initial studies in caspase-1−/− mice and in mice treated with Pralnacasan, a caspase-1 inhibitor or in mice treated with IL-1R antagonist (IL-1Ra) and exposed to Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) revealed amelioration of colitis.
