Fig. 3. Model of two-layer organization of NLRP1 and CARD8 FIINDUPA-CARD filaments.

Fig. 3

a Top panel: SDS-PAGE NLRP1-FIINDUPA-CARD mutants. Bottom panel: native gel analysis of SUMO-NLRP1-FIINDUPA constructs, stained by Krypton. b ASC-GFP speck formation induced by wild-type NLRP1-FIINDUPA-CARD and PP1278AG in 293T-ASC-GFP cells. c Percentage of ASC-GFP specks induced by NLRP1-FIINDUPA-CARD constructs in 293T-ASC-GFP cells. Cells were fixed 24 hours after transfection for fluorescence microscopy. Data are presented as mean values ± SD. P value was calculated with one-way ANOVA, n = 3 biological replicates. ‘*/**/****’ indicates P value < 0.05, 0.01, and 0.0001, correspondingly. d Side view and top view of FIINDUPA-dimer structures reported by other groups, and our modeled oligomer interface of NLRP1-FIINDUPA. Potential surface residues that may involve homotypic oligomerization were displayed using spheres, PP1278-1279, were highlighted in red color, R1240, RK1260, R12785, and F1320 are colored in orange. e The top and side views of NLRP1-CARD filament and six modeled FIINDUPA domains fitted into the FIINDUPA-CARD filament density. f A close-up view of the potential UPA-CARD linker orientation. A linker with 25~40 Å is likely to support a regular organization of the two-layer structure. g The top and side views of CARD8-CARD filament and si modeled FIINDUPA domains fitted into the CARD8-FIINDUPA-CARD filament density.
