Membrane damage during Listeria monocytogenes infection triggers a caspase-7 dependent cytoprotective response.

The cysteine protease caspase-7 has an established role in the execution of apoptotic cell death, but recent findings also suggest involvement of caspase-7 during the host response to microbial infection. Caspase-7 can be cleaved by the inflammatory caspase, caspase-1, and has been implicated in pro...
