HCK regulates NLRP12-mediated PANoptosis.

ABSTRACT: NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a highly conserved family of cytosolic pattern recognition receptors that drive innate immune responses against pathogens, pathogen-associated molecular patterns, damage-associated molecular patterns, and homeostatic disruptions. Within the NLR family, NLRP12 was recently identified as a key regulator of PANoptosis, which is an innate immune, lytic cell death pathway initiated by innate immune sensors and driven by caspases and RIPKs through PANoptosome complexes. While NLRP12 activation is critical for maintaining homeostasis, aberrant activation has been implicated in a broad range of disorders, including cancers and metabolic, infectious, autoinflammatory, and hemolytic diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of NLRP12 activation remain poorly understoo
