Description | Caspase-1, or interleukin-1beta converting enzyme (ICE/ICEalpha), is a class I cysteine protease, which also includes caspases-4,-5,-11, and-12. Caspase-1 cleaves inflammatory cytokines such as pro-IL-1beta and interferon-gamma inducing factor (IL-18) into their mature forms (1, 2). Like other caspases, caspase-1 is proteolytically activated from a proenzyme to produce a tetramer of its two active subunits, p20 and p10. Caspase-1 has a large amino-terminal pro-domain that contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD). Overexpression of caspase-1 can induce apoptosis (3). Mice deficient in caspase-1, however, have no overt defects in apoptosis but do have defects in the maturation of pro-IL-1beta and are resistant to endotoxic shock (4, 5). A |
