Research AreasCell Biology

Function

Thiol protease that acts as a mediator of programmed cell death. Initiates pyroptosis, a programmed lytic cell death pathway through cleavage of Gasdermin-D (GSDMD): cleavage releases the N-terminal gasdermin moiety (Gasdermin-D, N-terminal) that binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis. Also mediates cleavage and maturation of IL18.

Biological Context

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in barely detectable amounts in most tissues except brain, highest levels being found in lung, liver and skeletal muscle

Protein Biology

Function

Thiol protease that acts as a mediator of programmed cell death (PubMed:28314590, PubMed:29898893). Initiates pyroptosis, a programmed lytic cell death pathway through cleavage of Gasdermin-D (GSDMD): cleavage releases the N-terminal gasdermin moiety (Gasdermin-D, N-terminal) that binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed:29898893). Also mediates cleavage and maturation of IL18 (PubMed:37993714). Cleavage of GSDMD and IL18 is not strictly dependent on the consensus cleavage site but depends on an exosite interface on CASP4 (PubMed:37993714). During non-canonical inflammasome activation, cuts CGAS and may play a role in the regulation of antiviral innate immune activation (PubMed:28314590)

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in barely detectable amounts in most tissues except brain, highest levels being found in lung, liver and skeletal muscle

Subunit

Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 20 kDa (p20) and a 10 kDa (p10) subunits (By similarity). Interacts with MEFV (PubMed:17431422). Interacts with SERPINB1; this interaction regulates CASP5 activity (PubMed:30692621)
