| physiological function | the noncanonical inflammasome is a signalling complex critical for cell defence against cytosolic Gram-negative bacteria. A key step in the human noncanonical inflammasome pathway involves unleashing the proteolytic activity of caspase-4 within this complex. The enzyme directly cleaves GSDMD, which is consistent with established functions for murine caspase-11 in initiating cell death independently of caspase-1. Caspase-11, the murine counterpart of caspase-4, acquires protease activity within the noncanonical inflammasome by forming a dimer that self-cleaves at D285 to cleave gasdermin D (GSDMD) | Mus musculus |
