Research Backgrounds
Involved in innate immune response by recognizing cytosolic double-stranded DNA and inducing caspase-1-activating inflammasome formation in macrophages. Upon binding to DNA is thought to undergo oligomerization and to associate with PYCARD initiating the recruitment of caspase-1 precusrsor and processing of interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-18. Detects cytosolic dsDNA of viral and bacterial origin in a non-sequence-specific manner. Can also trigger PYCARD-dependent, caspase-1-independent cell death that involves caspase-8 (By similarity). Tumor suppressor which may act by repressing NF-kappa-B transcriptional activity.
Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Note: Activated inflammasomes can aggregate in the cytosol as speck-like particles.
Expressed in spleen, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes, and testis.
The pyrin domain mediates homotypic interaction with PYCARD (PubMed:19158676, PubMed:19158675).
The HIN-20 domain mediates dsDNA binding via electrostatic interactions.
Belongs to the HIN-200 family.
