UniProtKB accession:  Q0GUM3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Interferon (IFN)-inducible GTPase that plays important roles in innate immunity against a diverse range of bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogens by mediating cytosolic release of pathogenic ligands that activate the inflammasomes (PubMed:16959883, PubMed:20109161, PubMed:27693356, PubMed:30062052, PubMed:30510167, PubMed:34694641). Following infection, recruited to the membrane of pathogens in a GBP-dependent manner and mediates disruption of the pathogen membrane, liberating ligands that are detected by inflammasomes, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that activates the non-canonical CASP4/CASP11 inflammasome or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that activates the AIM2 inflammasome (PubMed:27693356, PubMed:30062052, PubMed:30510167). Promotes AIM2 and NLRP3 inflammasome activation following A.fumigatus infection by liberating beta-glucan, which directly triggers inflammasome assembly (PubMed:30510167). Promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation following influenza A virus infection (PubMed:34694641).
