Abstract
Gasdermins (GSDMs) are mediators of cell death that trigger membrane lysis. A study shows that full-length GSDME induces pyroptosis after ultraviolet irradiation, involving GSDME PARylation that releases autoinhibition and lipid reactive oxygen species that promote pore formation. This study adds insights on how GSDMs can be activated non-canonically.
