摘要
Two recent back-to-back papers published in Nature provide new insights into the structural basis of gasdermin B(GSDMB)targeting by the secreted Shigella virulence effector IpaH7.8,the regulation of GSDMB’s pore-forming pyroptotic activity by alternative splicing,and into the inter-species differences regarding IpaH7.8-mediated inhibition of gasdermin D(GSDMD)activity.
