The layout of this reaction may differ from that in the pathway view due to the constraints in pathway layout
The binding of TP53 (p53) to the p53 response element in the promoter of the NLRC4 (Ipaf) gene promotes NLRC4 transcription. NLRC4 is an activator of caspase-1 (CASP1) (Poyet et al. 2001), which is also a TP53 target. NLRC4 and CASP1 play an important role in innate immunity via inflammasome-mediated destruction of pathogenic bacteria and fungi (Schroder and Tschopp 2010). NLRC4 contributes to cell death (Sadasivam et al. 2005), possibly through interleukin-1-mediated pyroptosis (Brough and Rothwell 2007).
