Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokines are key immunological regulators that achieve their signaling prowess after post-translational proteolytic processing. In this issue of Immunity, Dong et al. reveal the structural consequences of this process on proinflammatory IL-18, demonstrating that pro-IL-18 and mature IL-18 are structurally distinct.
