Target data Gasdermin-A. This form constitutes the precursor of the pore-forming protein and acts as a sensor of infection : upon infection by S.pyogenes, specifically cleaved by S.pyogenes effector protein SpeB in epithelial cells, releasing the N-terminal moiety (Gasdermin-A, N-terminal) that binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis.. Gasdermin-A, N-terminal. Pore-forming protein that causes membrane permeabilization and pyroptosis (PubMed : 17471240, PubMed : 27281216, PubMed : 35110732, PubMed : 35545676). Released upon cleavage by S.pyogenes effector protein SpeB, and binds to membrane inner leaflet lipids (PubMed : 27281216, PubMed : 35110732, PubMed : 35545676). Homooligomerizes within the membrane and forms pores of 10-15 nanometers (nm) of inner diameter, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed : 27281216, PubMed : 35110732, PubMed : 35545676). Pyroptosis triggers the elimination of the infected skin cell, depriving the pathogen of its protective niche, while inducing an inflammatory response (PubMed : 35110732, PubMed : 35545676). This ultimately prevents bacterial penetration of the epithelial barrier and a subsequent systemic dissemination of the pathogen (PubMed : 35110732, PubMed : 35545676). Binds to cardiolipin and other acidic phospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine, which mediate its targeting to the inner leaflet membrane (PubMed : 27281216, PubMed : 35110732).
