Inflammasome Activation by Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles Requires Guanylate Binding Proteins
ABSTRACT The Gram-negative bacterial cell wall component lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is recognized by the noncanonical inflammasome protein caspase-11 in the cytosol of infected host cells and thereby prompts an inflammatory immune response linked to sepsis. Host guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) promo...
