One key event in inflammatory signaling is the activation of the initiator caspase, procaspase-1. Presented here is the crystal structure of the procaspase-1 zymogen without its caspase recruitment domain solved to 2.05 A. Although the isolated domain is monomeric in solution, the protein appeared dimeric in crystals ...
