Gene Description

CASP1 (caspase-1; interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme, ICE) is the prototypical inflammatory caspase, a cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific endopeptidase of the clan CD peptidase family. It is expressed mainly in monocytes, macrophages and other immune cells and is synthesized as an inactive cytosolic zymogen comprising an N-terminal caspase-recruitment domain (CARD), a large (p20) catalytic subunit bearing the His/Cys catalytic dyad, an interdomain linker, and a small (p10) subunit. The active enzyme is a heterotetramer of two antiparallel p20/p10 heterodimers. Caspase-1 is the effector protease of canonical inflammasomes: cytosolic pattern-recognition receptors (NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRC4/NAIP, AIM2, pyrin) assemble, directly or through the bipartite adaptor ASC/PYCARD, into platforms that cluster procaspase-1 via homotypic CARD-CARD interactions, driving proximity-induced autoproteolysis and activation. Once active, caspase-1 cleaves the precursors of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-18 into their mature, secreted, receptor-binding forms, and cleaves gasdermin-D to release its pore-forming N-terminal fragment, which permeabilizes the plasma membrane to drive the lytic, proinflammatory cell death pyroptosis and the release of mature IL-1 family cytokines. Caspase-1 also processes additional substrates (including caspase-7, cGAS, sphingosine kinase 2 and ZNFX1) and contributes to apoptosis in some overexpression and disease contexts. It acts in the cytosol and is central to innate immune defense against microbial infection and to the pathology of autoinflammatory diseases.

Summary: CASP1 is the effector protease downstream of pattern-recognition receptors, not itself a PRR.
Reason: These NAS annotations place CASP1 in PRR signalling because inflammasomes act downstream of cytosolic PRRs. CASP1 does not bind a PAMP/DAMP; it is the terminal protease of the inflammasome. The precise term is inflammasome-mediated signaling pathway (GO:0141084), whose definition is "starts with a ligand binding to a PRR, assembly of the inflammasome complex, leading to the activation of CASP1".

Many of the underlying interactions are biologically real (ASC/PYCARD, NLRC4, NLRP1, NOD2, MEFV, CARD16/17/18, SERPINB1, GSDMD, VAC14) but each is captured by a specific complex, process, or CARD-domain-binding annotation elsewhere in this set. No more informative molecular function is supportable from the bare term, so it is removed rather than rewritten.

Many of the underlying interactions are biologically real (ASC/PYCARD, NLRC4, NLRP1, NOD2, MEFV, CARD16/17/18, SERPINB1, GSDMD, VAC14) but each is captured by a specific complex, process, or CARD-domain-binding annotation elsewhere in this set. No more informative molecular function is supportable from the bare term, so it is removed rather than rewritten.

Summary: Microtubule localization asserted from a paper about pyrin, not CASP1.
Reason: The cited study shows that microtubules control pyrin-mediated caspase-1 activation; it does not localize CASP1 itself to microtubules. The NAS inference over-reaches. I cannot verify a direct CASP1 microtubule localization, so this is flagged as over-annotation.

Summary: Osmosensory signaling pathway: CASP1 is activated by cell swelling but does not sense osmolarity.
Reason: Hypo-osmotic cell swelling activates the NLRP3 inflammasome and thereby caspase-1; the osmosensing is performed upstream (K+ flux, NLRP3), not by CASP1. CASP1 is downstream, so the involved_in claim over-reaches.
Supporting Evidence:

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: The caspase-1 prodomain enhances Fas-mediated apoptosis, probably by facilitating caspase-8 activation; a direct cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity of caspase-1 is not established, so the term is over-annotated.
Reason: The caspase-1 prodomain enhances Fas-mediated apoptosis by facilitating caspase-8 activation. A documented but accessory activity, distinct from the core IL-1 maturation role. Splitting the precomposed term shows the genus, a direct caspase-activator activity, is not established: the source says the caspase-1 prodomain enhances Fas-mediated apoptosis "most probably" by facilitating caspase-8 activation, a hedged and indirect effect. Treated like BCL2L13's equally hedged row, as over-annotated rather than modified.

Reason: Procaspase-1 was identified as an NF-kappaB activator in a large screen, and it regulates TLR2/4-NF-kappaB signalling by cleaving the adaptor Mal/TIRAP. A real but context-dependent and indirect role, not the core function.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15383541
Unlike COP/Pseudo-ICE and procaspase-1, INCA does not interact with RIP2 and does not induce NF-kappaB activation

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Icosanoid biosynthetic process: a downstream physiological consequence, not a CASP1 enzymatic step.
Reason: NLRC4/caspase-1 activation triggers an in vivo "eicosanoid storm", but CASP1 does not catalyze eicosanoid synthesis; the lipid mediators are produced downstream by lipid-metabolizing enzymes. By the participation test CASP1 does not do the work of this process.
Supporting Evidence:

ACCEPT
Summary: CARD-domain binding is the mechanism by which CASP1 is recruited into inflammasomes and regulated by CARD-only proteins.
Reason: CASP1 engages its activators and regulators through homotypic CARD-CARD contacts: COP/CARD16 binds the caspase-1 prodomain, and CARD8 interacts with the CARD. This is an informative molecular function (not bare protein binding).

Summary: Defense response to virus (with a regulatory nuance).
Reason: During DNA-virus infection caspase-1 cleaves cGAS and thereby dampens type-I IFN; inflammasome deficiency enhances antiviral resistance. CASP1 participates in the antiviral response but as a negative regulator of cGAS-STING, which the involved_in term does not capture precisely.

Summary: Positive regulation of TNF-mediated signalling, inferred from a study of the inhibitor COP.
Reason: The cached abstract describes COP as an inhibitor of Rip2/caspase-1/caspase-4-mediated cell death and of TNF-alpha-induced death, and does not by itself show CASP1 positively regulating TNF signalling. This is an experimental (IMP) annotation and only the abstract is cached, so the curator may have relied on full-text data not visible here; deferred rather than marked as over-annotated.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16920334
Cop's action to prevent TNF-alpha-induced cell death

Core Functions

Cysteine-type endopeptidase (ICE) activity: the inflammasome effector protease. Procaspase-1 is clustered and autoactivated through CARD-CARD interactions, then cleaves its physiological substrates after an Asp (YVAD consensus) using the His237/Cys285 catalytic dyad.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:1574116
    A novel heterodimeric cysteine protease is required for interleukin-1 beta processing in monocytes
  • PMID:32051255
    pro-caspase-1 IDL cleavage is necessary for pyroptosis induced by both ASC-dependent and ASC-independent inflammasomes

Maturation of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 beta and IL-18: caspase-1 cleaves pro-IL-1 beta (at Asp116-Ala117) and pro-IL-18 (at Asp36-Tyr37) to their active, secreted, receptor-binding forms. This is the defining physiological output of caspase-1.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:2787508
    mutation of Asp116----Ala116 rendered the IL-1 beta precursor resistant to cleavage by the processing activity
  • PMID:9334240
    caspase-1, which cleaves prohIL-18 at the Asp36-Tyr37 site to generate the mature hIL-18

Cleavage of gasdermin-D to execute pyroptosis. Autoprocessed caspase-1 engages full-length GSDMD through both its active site and an exosite that binds the GSDMD C-terminal domain, cleaving the interdomain linker to release the pore-forming N-terminal fragment that drives lytic, proinflammatory pyroptotic cell death and IL-1 cytokine release.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:26375003
    Caspase-1 and caspase-4/5/11 specifically cleaved the linker between the amino-terminal gasdermin-N and carboxy-terminal gasdermin-C domains in GSDMD, which was required and sufficient for pyroptosis
  • PMID:32553275
    This "exosite" interface endows an additional function for the GSDMD C-terminal domain as a caspase-recruitment module

CARD-mediated recruitment and self-assembly: the caspase-1 CARD engages activators (directly for NLRC4/CARD8, or via the ASC adaptor for NLRP3/AIM2/pyrin) and polymerizes into a filament, enabling proximity-induced autoprocessing of the zymogen into the active p20/p10 enzyme.

CARD domain binding

Cellular Locations:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:24630722
    ASC thus nucleates CARD filaments of caspase-1, leading to proximity-induced activation
  • PMID:27043298
    we determined the structure of the human caspase-1 CARD domain (caspase-1(CARD)) filament by cryo-electron microscopy

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Beyond IL-1 beta, IL-18 and GSDMD, which caspase-1 substrates (e.g. cGAS, caspase-7, SPHK2, ZNFX1) are cleaved at physiological enzyme levels in vivo versus only on overexpression, and what is the biological weight of each?

Q: What distinguishes the ASC-dependent (NLRP3/AIM2) from the ASC-independent (NLRC4/CARD8) mode of caspase-1 activation in terms of cytokine-maturation versus pyroptosis output?

Q: Which of the catalytically inactive splice isoforms (delta, epsilon) act as endogenous dominant-negative regulators of caspase-1 in human cells, and under what conditions?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Degradomics (N-terminomics / TAILS) in primary human macrophages with inflammasome activation, comparing CASP1-knockout and catalytically dead (C285A) reconstitution, to define the physiological caspase-1 substrate repertoire at endogenous enzyme levels.

Experiment: Separation-of-function reconstitution of CASP1 variants defective in GSDMD-exosite binding versus cytokine cleavage, to test independently the contributions of pyroptosis and IL-1/IL-18 maturation to host defense and autoinflammation.
