Abstract

Caspase-11 controls a noncanonical inflammasome that responds to Gram-negative bacteria and certain pore-forming toxins. Aachoui et al. (2013) and Case et al. (2013) identify a role for caspase-11 in rapid responses to bacterial pathogens that access the cytosol via vacuolar membrane disruption or the activity of specialized secretion systems.
