ABSTRACT
Gasdermin family (GSDMs), consisting of six proteins (GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, GSDME and DFNB59) in humans and ten proteins (GSDMA1-3, GSDMC1-4, GSDMD, GSDME and DFNB59) in mice, might be involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes, including epithelial cell development, apoptosis, inflammation, carcinogenesis and immune-related diseases. Recent studies confirmed GSDMD, which containing an N-terminal domain with pore-forming activity and a C-terminal domain with structural autoinhibition, as a crucial substrate of inflammatory caspases in pyroptosis, pioneering a new area for structural and functional research on Gasdermin family proteins. This review will summarize the latest progress in the structures, functions and association with diseases of several Gasdermin family proteins.
