and a short ?-helix. The first flexible loop of GSDMD-C, which is located between GSDMD-N and the linker helix, stretches out and inserts into the GSDMD-N pocket, stabilizing the conformation of the full-length protein. GSDMD-N forms large transmembrane pores composed of 31 to 34 subunits that allow the release of interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokines and drive pyroptosis.

Function

Several current studies have revealed that GSDMD serves as a specific substrate of inflammatory
