B. Cross-linking experiment of full-length and cleaved GSDMD. GSDMD at a concentration of 2 μM was incubated at room temperature with 5 nM caspase-1. After enzymatic cleavage, GSDMDNterm is highly cross-linked by DSS, resulting in the gel-impenetrating species highlighted by the arrow. GSDMDCterm is not cross-linked.
