Detecting "different": Pyrin senses modified GTPases

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

    Abstract

    Pathogenic bacteria secrete effector proteins that target host cell Rho GTPases to manipulate the actin cytoskeleton. A recent study in Nature identifies the Pyrin inflammasome as a sensor of this pathogenic process.
