Gram-negative bacteria are associated with a wide spectrum of infectious diseases in
humans. Inflammasomes are cytosolic protein complexes that are assembled when the cell
encounters pathogens or other harmful agents. The non-canonical caspase-4/5
inflammasome is activated by Gram-negative bacteria-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and
by endogenous oxidized phospholipids. Protein secretion is a critical component of the
innate immune response. Here, we have used label-free quantitative proteomics to …
