Viral subversion of the host ubiquitin proteasome system is broadly sensed by the NLRP1 inflammasome

Marisa A. Yonemitsu, Kira A. Kohlbach, Evelyn L. Harrera…·Andrew Sandstrom

The paper identifies viral E3 ligase activity as a conserved trigger of NLRP1 inflammasome activation, expanding effector-triggered immunity against viral pathogens.

TAK1 integrates the NLRP1 inflammasome into the innate immune response to double-stranded RNA

Miles R. Corley, Ayumu Hyodo, Hunter C Toyoda…·Patrick S. Mitchell

This study shows TAK1 activates the NLRP1 inflammasome in response to dsRNA, linking it to inflammatory responses in viral infection and autoimmunity.
