Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat pyrin-domain containing protein 1 (NLRP1) is an inflammasome sensor that mediates the activation of caspase-1 to induce cytokine maturation and pyroptosis<sup>1-4</sup>. Gain-of-function mutations of NLRP1 cause severe inflammatory diseases of the skin<sup>4-6</sup>. NLRP1 contains a function-to-find domain that auto-proteolyses into noncovalently associated subdomains<sup>7-9</sup>, and proteasomal degradation of the repressive N-terminal fragme ...[more]
