Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

pycardApoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD; Functions as key mediator in apoptosis and inflammation. Promotes caspase-mediated apoptosis. Induces proteolytic processing of caspa and caspa- dependent apoptosis. In innate immune response acts as an integral adapter in the assembly of NLRP1 inflammasomes which activate caspases caspa and caspb leading to processing and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine il1b. The function as activating adapter in different types of inflammasomes is mediated by the pyrin and CARD domains and their homotypic interactions. Also involved [...] (203 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
caspa
Caspase a subunit p10; Thiol protease which cleaves IL-1 beta (il1b), releasing the mature cytokine which is involved in a variety of inflammatory processes, and mediates apoptosis. Component of the NLRP1 inflammasome, which plays a crucial role in innate immunity and inflammation. In response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals, recruited to the NLRP1 inflammasome in its precursor form. Its subsequent activation causes the cleavage of pro-il1b into the midformed il1b, which then evetually leads to il1b maturation and secretion in the extracellular milieu. Required for the [...]

caspb
Caspase b subunit p10; Thiol protease which cleaves IL-1 beta (il1b), releasing the mature cytokine which is involved in a variety of inflammatory processes, and mediates apoptosis. Component of the NLRP1 inflammasome, which plays a crucial role in innate immunity and inflammation. In response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals, recruited to the NLRP1 inflammasome in its precursor form following the recruitment of caspase caspa. Its subsequent activation causes the cleavage of the midformed pro-il1b and results in il1b maturation and secretion in the extracellular milieu. [...]

nlrp1
NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 1 homolog; As the sensor component of the NLRP1 inflammasome, plays a crucial role in innate immunity and inflammation. In response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals, initiates the formation of the inflammasome polymeric complex, which activates caspases caspa and caspb leading to processing and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. Required for the sequential recruitment of pro-caspa and pro-caspb to the inflammasome, which promotes activation of the caspases and the caspa/b-catalyzed il1b maturation and secretion in the e [...]
