Viral subversion of the host ubiquitin proteasome system is broadly sensed by the NLRP1 inflammasome
NLRP1 is an inflammasome-forming sensor that can detect diverse pathogen virulence factor enzymatic activities, including that of bacterial and viral proteases, to promote effector-triggered immunity. Additionally, the mouse NLRP1B inflammasome can sense the E3 ligase activity of the Shigella flexneri secreted effector IpaH7.8. Here, we investigated whether viral subversion of the host ubiquitin…
