英文摘要
Abstract
The inflammasomes are crucial innate immune signaling platforms implicated in immune defense against
infections and autoimmune/autoinflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s
disease. Pyroptosis is triggered by inflammatory caspases-1, 4, 5, or 11 upon stimulation of the canonical and
noncanonical inflammasomes. Despite the recent progress on the identification and characterization of GSDMD
as an effector of pyroptosis, the molecular events underlying the transformation of GSDMD from an autoinhibited
resting state to the recognition and cleavage by caspases has remained poorly defined. The lack of mechanistic
understanding of GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis has hampered progress on the development of novel
therapeutics against infections and autoimmune/autoinflammatory disorders. This proposal targets critical gaps
in our understanding of GSDMD/inflammatory caspase-mediated pyroptosis using complementary structure-
function approaches. We hypothesize that GSDMD is maintained in an autoinhibited conformation through
intramolecular domain interactions between its N- (GSDMD-N) and C-terminal (GSDMD-C) domains. Such
conformation is recognized by inflammatory caspases that cleave at the linker region to release the
autoinhibition and facilitate membrane pore formation. We propose the following specific aims to test the
above hypothesis. Aim 1. Define the mechanism through which GSDMD maintains its autoinhibited state, and
how such autoinhibition may be regulated by small molecule tool compounds. We will characterize the structure
of the GSDMD domains and the full-length protein in its autoinhibited state using primarily structural approaches,
in concert with analysis of the GSDMD-N and GSDMD-C interactions through biochemical techniques. The role
of the intramolecular domain interface during Salmonella infection-induced pyroptosis will be probed using
GSDMD-deficient cell lines reconstituted with mutant GSDMD. A unique feature of our approach is the
incorporation of GSDMD-binding compounds identified from chemical libraries screening into the above efforts
to investigate the regulation of GSDMD and pyroptosis by small molecule tool compounds. Aim 2. Define the
mechanisms of gasdermin recognition and cleavage by inflammatory caspases. We will elucidate the molecular
basis of the conversion of caspases-4 and 11 from zymogens to active conformation, which has been poorly
characterized. We will investigate the mechanism of GSDMD recognition by these caspases, which may involve
both the linker peptides and tertiary structure of GSDMD. In summary, this project will delineate the molecular
mechanisms underlying the autoinhibition and activation of GSDMD during pyroptosis, identify small molecule
tool compounds and characterize their mode of action in the context of pyroptosis regulation. This will not only
furnish unique insights on GSDMD structure and function, but may stimulate the development of therapeutics
that target inflammatory disorders.
