Proteolytic maturation of the pore-forming protein gasdermin D (GSDMD) by inflammasome-activated caspase-1 is crucial for initiating pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death. In this issue of Immunity, Lui et al. report the X-ray structure of the caspase-1-GSDMD complex, mapping the interaction interfaces that determine recognition and cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases.
