Descriptions

Gasdermin proteins are a pore-forming protein causing membrane permeabilization and pyroptosis, and functions downstream of the inflammatory caspases. In human Gasdermin-D protein (GSDMD, P57764), its C-terminal gasdermin domain adopts an intramolecular complex with the N-terminal domain, which inhibits the activation of the N-terminal gasdermin domain. The N- and C-terminal gasdermin domains of Gsdmd can interact each other, implying a similar autoinhibitory mechanism.

6 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
extracellular space That part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid.
integral component of membrane The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
NLRP3 inflammasome complex An inflammasome complex that consists of three components, NLRP3 (NALP3), PYCARD and caspase-1. It is activated upon exposure to whole pathogens, as well as a number of structurally diverse pathogen- and danger-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs) and environmental irritants. Whole pathogens demonstrated to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome complex include the fungi Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, bacteria that produce pore-forming toxins, including Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus, and viruses such as Sendai virus, adenovirus, and influenza virus.
nucleoplasm That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

6 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
cardiolipin binding Binding to cardiolipin.
phosphatidic acid binding Binding to phosphatidic acid, any of a class of glycerol phosphate in which both the remaining hydroxyl groups of the glycerol moiety are esterified with fatty acids.
phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding Binding to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, a derivative of phosphatidylinositol in which the inositol ring is phosphorylated at the 4' and 5' positions.
phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding Binding to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, a derivative of phosphatidylinositol in which the inositol ring is phosphorylated at the 4' position.
phosphatidylserine binding Binding to phosphatidylserine, a class of glycophospholipids in which a phosphatidyl group is esterified to the hydroxyl group of L-serine.
wide pore channel activity Enables the transport of a solute across a membrane via a large pore, un-gated channel. Examples include gap junctions, which transport substances from one cell to another; and porins which transport substances in and out of bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts.

11 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cellular response to extracellular stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an extracellular stimulus.
defense response to bacterium Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
defense response to Gram-negative bacterium Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-negative bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
defense response to Gram-positive bacterium Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-positive bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
inflammatory response The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages.
innate immune response Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
pore complex assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a pore complex. A pore complex is a small opening in a membrane that allows the passage of liquids and/or gases.
pore formation in membrane of other organism The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components by an organism to form a pore complex in a membrane of another organism.
positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta production Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of interleukin-1 beta production.
protein homooligomerization The process of creating protein oligomers, compounds composed of a small number, usually between three and ten, of identical component monomers. Oligomers may be formed by the polymerization of a number of monomers or the depolymerization of a large protein polymer.
pyroptosis A caspase-1-dependent cell death subroutine that is associated with the generation of pyrogenic mediators such as IL-1beta and IL-18.
