Schematic diagram of ATG16L2-mediated NLRC4 inflammasome activation during Salmonella typhimurium infection. After NAIPs recognize the different components of S. typhimurium, ATG16L2 promotes the binding of NAIPs to NLRC4, enhancing the oligomerisation of ASC and the subsequent caspase-induced cleavage of IL-1β and GSDMD. N-terminal perforates the cell membrane, causing pyroptosis and LDH leakage. Abstract As cytoplasmic … Read more
