要 旨

Inflammatory caspases (caspase-1, 4, 5 and 11) are critical for cytosolic defenses against bacterial infections. Caspase-1 is activated by the canonical inflammasome complex. We identify the NAIP family of NLR proteinsas inflammasome receptors for bacterial flagellin and type III secretion apparatus. Pyrin, encoded by the familial Mediterranean fever disease gene,forms a canonical inflammasome upon bacterial modifications/inactivation of host Rho GTPases. We also discover that human caspase-4/5 and murine caspase-11 are receptors for cytosolic LPS, critical for anti-bacterial defense and also septic shock. Common to inflammatory caspases activation is pyroptosis, a programmed necrotic cell death. Using genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens, we identify gasdermin D (GSDMD) as the pyroptosis substrate for inflammatory caspases. GSDMD contains a functionally important gasdermin-N domain conserved in the gasdermin family. The gasdermin-N domains of GSDMD as well as other gasdermins can bind membrane lipids, phosphoinositides and cardiolipin, and exhibit membrane-disrupting cytotoxicity in both mammalian cells and bacteria. Purified gasdermin-N efficiently lyses the liposomes and forms pores on the membrane. Most gasdermin pores have an inner diameter of 10~14 nm with 16 symmetric protomers. Crystal structure shows an autoinhibited two-domain architecture in the gasdermin family. The liposome-leakage and pore-forming activity of gasdermin-N is required for pyroptosis. These findings reveal the mechanism for pyroptosis and provide insights into the roles of the gasdermin family in necrosis, immunity and diseases.
