'''Crystal structure of an active-site ligand-free form of the human caspase-1 C285A mutant'''<br />


==Overview==
==Crystal structure of an active-site ligand-free form of the human caspase-1 C285A mutant==
Caspase-1, a mediator of the posttranslational processing of IL-1beta and, IL-18, requires an aspartic acid in the P1 position of its substrates. The, mechanisms of caspase-1 activation remain poorly understood despite, numerous structures of the enzyme complexed with aspartate-based, inhibitors. Here we report a crystal structure of ligand-free caspase-1, that displays dramatic rearrangements of loops defining the active site to, generate a closed conformation that is incompatible with substrate, binding. A structure of the enzyme complexed with malonate shows the, protein in its open (active-site ligand-bound) conformation in which, malonate reproduces the hydrogen bonding network observed in structures, with covalent inhibitors. These results illustrate the essential function, of the obligatory aspartate recognition element that opens the active site, of caspase-1 to substrates and may be the determinant responsible for the, conformational changes between ligand-free and -bound forms of the enzyme, and suggest a new approach for identifying novel aspartic acid mimetics.

[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CASP1_HUMAN CASP1_HUMAN] Thiol protease that cleaves IL-1 beta between an Asp and an Ala, releasing the mature cytokine which is involved in a variety of inflammatory processes. Important for defense against pathogens. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Can also promote apoptosis.<ref>PMID:7876192</ref> <ref>PMID:15498465</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Caspase-1, a mediator of the posttranslational processing of IL-1beta and IL-18, requires an aspartic acid in the P1 position of its substrates. The mechanisms of caspase-1 activation remain poorly understood despite numerous structures of the enzyme complexed with aspartate-based inhibitors. Here we report a crystal structure of ligand-free caspase-1 that displays dramatic rearrangements of loops defining the active site to generate a closed conformation that is incompatible with substrate binding. A structure of the enzyme complexed with malonate shows the protein in its open (active-site ligand-bound) conformation in which malonate reproduces the hydrogen bonding network observed in structures with covalent inhibitors. These results illustrate the essential function of the obligatory aspartate recognition element that opens the active site of caspase-1 to substrates and may be the determinant responsible for the conformational changes between ligand-free and -bound forms of the enzyme, and suggest a new approach for identifying novel aspartic acid mimetics.
