Caspase-1 is activated by the inflammasome complex to process cytokines like
interleukin-1? (IL-1?). Pro-caspase-1 consists of three domains, CARD, p20, and
p10. Association of pro-caspase-1 with the inflammasome results in initiation of
its autocatalytic activity, culminating in self-cleavage that generates
catalytically active subunits (p10 and p20). In the current study, we show that
Nedd8 is required for efficient self-cleavage of pro-caspase-1 to generate its
catalytically active subunits. Nedd8 silencing or treating cells with the
neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 led to diminished caspase-1 processing and reduced
IL-1? maturation following inflammasome activation. Coimmunoprecipitation and
mass spectrometric analysis of 293 cells overexpressing pro-caspase-1 (and CARD)
and Nedd8 suggested possible neddylation of caspase-1 CARD. Following
inflammasome activation in primary macrophages, we observed colocalization of
endogenous Nedd8 with caspase-1. Similarly, interaction of endogenous Nedd8 with
caspase-1 CARD was detected in inflammasome-activated macrophages. Furthermore,
enhanced autocatalytic activity of pro-caspase-1 was observed following Nedd8
overexpression in 293 cells, and such activity in inflammasome-activated
macrophages was drastically diminished upon treatment of cells with MLN4924.
Thus, our studies demonstrate a role of Nedd8 in regulating caspase-1 activation
following inflammasome activation, presumably via augmenting
autoprocessing/cleavage of pro-caspase-1 into its corresponding catalytically
active subunits.
