Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
C254A/K19E site-directed mutagenesis, mutations on the helix H1 2 located in the N-terminal side of CARD domain Mus musculus
K19E site-directed mutagenesis, the charge mutation positions in the middle of helix H1 2 Mus musculus
additional information mutations of the helix H1-2 hydrophobic residues abolish the tetramerization of MBP-tagged CARD in solution and fail to induce pyroptosis in cells. The mutations abolish the aggregation of caspase-11 CARD and prohibit the self-cleavage of caspase-11 Mus musculus
V13A/L14A/L17A/V21A site-directed mutagenesis, VLLV-caspase-11 mutant, mutations on the helix H1 2 located in the N-terminal side of CARD domain destroy the hydrophobic interactions Mus musculus

Posttranslational Modification

Posttranslational Modification Comment Organism
proteolytic modification tetrameric aggregation of caspase-11 is thought to promote the autoprocessing and activation of caspase-11, activation mechanism of caspase-11, overview. The tetramerization of the N-terminal CARD prevents catalytic domain autoinhibition, leading to the caspase-11 activation. The hydrophobic interface is critical for the cellular activation of the caspase-11 inflammasome Mus musculus

Subunits Comment Organism
additional information caspase-11 contains two components, an N-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and a C-terminal catalytic domain. The MBP-tagged caspase-11 CARD domain tetramerizes in solution. An extensive hydrophobic interface formed by the H1-2 helix mediates homotypic CARD interactions. The CARD mediates caspase oligomerization through CARD CARD interaction. The CARD of caspase-11 is essential for LPS-induced pyroptosis. Overall crystal structure of the caspase-11 CARD, overview Mus musculus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution caspase-11, -4, and -5 belong to a family of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases. Their activation requires oligomerization and autoproteolysis. Caspase-11, -4, and -5 contain an N-terminal death fold named caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and a C-terminal catalytic domain Mus musculus
malfunction mutations in the hydrophobic interface abolish the aggregation of caspase-11 in vitro Mus musculus
metabolism murine caspase-11 is the key enzyme of the non-canonical inflammasome pathway that can respond to intracellular LPS and induce pyroptosis. The hydrophobic interface is critical for the cellular activation of the caspase-11 inflammasome Mus musculus
additional information caspase-11-mediated gasdermin D (GSDMD) cleavage and cell death are dependent on the hydrophobic surface on H1 2 of CARD. The hydrophobic interface is critical for the cellular activation of the caspase-11 inflammasome Mus musculus
physiological function sensing of cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in the self-cleavage and activation of caspase-11. The activated caspase can then drive the canonical inflammasome pathway to induce pyroptosis. The activation of caspase-11 is involved in the development of inflammatory responses, such as lethal sepsis, making it an important target for drug development Mus musculus
