FIG. 5.
Augophagosomal degradation negatively regulates inflammasomes. TLR activation results in the sequestration of pro-IL-1β to autophagosomal compartments, leading to reduced levels of pro-IL-1β (38). In parallel, ASC is targeted for K63-liked ubiquitination upon AIM2 stimulation, which results in localization of ASC to autophagosomes (85).
