Research Backgrounds

Function:

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.

Subcellular Location:

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Note: Activated inflammasomes can aggregate in the cytosol as speck-like particles.

Extracellular region or secreted Cytosol Plasma membrane Cytoskeleton Lysosome Endosome Peroxisome ER Golgi apparatus Nucleus Mitochondrion Manual annotation Automatic computational assertionSubcellular location
Tissue Specificity:

Expressed in spleen, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes, and testis.

Subunit Structure:

Self-associates; forms homooligomers in response to cytosolic dsDNA and the dsDNA seems to serve as oligomerization platform. Component of the AIM2 inflammasome. Interacts with PYCARD, IFI16, EIF2AK2/PKR and MAPRE1. Interacts with PYDC5; disrupts assembly of the ALR inflammasome complex.

Family&Domains:

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.
