Gene Synthesis> | … The fusion gene of Gaussia luciferase (GLuc) and pro-interleukin-1β (pro-IL-1β), named iGLuc, was synthesized by Nanjing Genscript company, and the sequence was similar to that previously described (Bartok et al., 2013), replacing the pro-IL-1β gene of pig origin … | Get A Quote |
Inflammasome plays a major role in innate immune responses by activating caspase-1, resulting in secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and inflammatory pathologic responses. IL-1β release is widely used as an indirect readout to study inflammasome activation. Here we report an iGLuc reporter (pro-IL-1β-Gluc) of pig origin to monitor cytosolic pro-IL-1β cleavage and mature IL-1β release. Based on the iGLuc reporter, we reconstructed the inflammasome system in vitro and screened PRRSV- and ASFV-encoded proteins involved in regulating inflammasome activation. We found that three non-structural proteins (nsps) of PRRSV, nsp1β, nsp2 and nsp5, activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, and four nsps of PRRSV, nsp1ɑ, nsp7... More
