NALP1 (NAcht, Leucine-rich repeat and PYD domain containing protein 1; also NAC, CARD7, DEFCAP and CLR17.1) is a 160-170 kDa member of the NLRP family of molecules. It is expressed in dendritic cells, neutrophils, T and B cells, alveolar macrophages, permatogonia, neurons, plus intestinal columnar epithelium, and is found in both cytoplasm and nucleus. NALP1 promotes apoptosis plus IL-1 beta and IL-18 maturation by activating caspase-1 and -5. It does so by forming a 700 kDa inflammasome comprised of NALP1, ASC plus caspase-1 and -5. Bacterial wall peptidoglycan binds to NALP1, promoting ATP binding, NALP1 oligomerization, and caspase activation. Human NALP1 is 1473 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an N-terminal DAPIN domain (aa 1-92), a NACHT domain (aa 328-637), seven consecutive LRRs (aa 704-1236) and one CARD region (aa 1374-1463). Alternate splice forms exist that range in size from 70 kDa-150 kDa. Either individually, or in combination, there can be a 19 aa substitution for either aa 1353-1473 or aa 1368-1472, a deletion of aa 91-260, 958-987 or 1262-1305, and a 43 aa insert after Leu785. Over aa 1-323, human NALP1 shares less that 20% aa identity with mouse NALP1.

Scientific Data Images for Human NLRP1/NALP1 Antibody
Detection of Human NLRP1/NALP1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line either mock transfected, transfected with human NLRP1/NALP1 or transfected with NALP3, THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line, and Ramos human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line. PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human NLRP1/NALP1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6788) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). Specific bands were detected for NLRP1/NALP1 at approximately 160 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.Detection of NLRP1/NALP1 by Western Blot
DPP8/9 inhibitors activate the CARD8 inflammasome in T cells. A–c Human primary CD3+ T cells were pre-treated with the indicated compounds for 30 min prior to the addition of VbP (2 μM, 6 h). Cell viability was assessed using Cell-TiterGlo. Data are means ± s.e.m. of four or five biological replicates. ***p < 0.001 by two-sided Student’s t test. NS not significant. d Immunoblots of CARD8 KO CD3+ T-cell lysates treated with VbP (20 μM, 24 h). e, f CD3+ T cells (Donor 008) were primed with LPS (10 μg/mL, 4 h) before treatment with the indicated concentrations of VbP (6 h), LT (6 h), Lfn-flagellin (3 h), or nigericin (1 h). Lysates were then evaluated by immunoblotting (e) and supernatants were analyzed for LDH release (f) and IL-1 beta secretion (g).

DPP8/9 inhibitors induce pyroptosis in primary lymphocytes.a Domain structures of human NLRP1 and CARD8. Note that the ZU5 and UPA sub-domains together are referred to as a FIIND. b, c The indicated primary cells were treated with VbP (24 h) before cell death was assessed by Cell-TiterGlo (b) and lysates were evaluated by immunoblotting (c). Data are means ± s.e.m. of four biological replicates. d CD3+ T cells were treated with VbP (20 μM, 24 h) or 8j (20 μM, 24 h) before lysates were evaluated by immunoblotting. Immunoblots are representative of three independent experiments.
