Summary
NLRP6 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 6, HGNC:22944) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.5, encoding NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 6 (P59044). Acts as the sensor component of the NLRP6 inflammasome, which mediates inflammasome activation in response to various pathogen-associated signals, leading to maturation and secretion of IL1B and IL18.
The protein encoded by this gene binds arginine-vasopressin and may be involved in the arginine-vasopressin-mediated regulation of renal salt-water balance. The encoded protein also mediates inflammatory responses in the colon to allow recovery from intestinal epithelial damage and protects against tumorigenesis and the development of colitis. Finally, this protein can increase activation of NF-kappa-B, activation of CASP1 through interaction with ASC, and cAMP accumulation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Acts as the sensor component of the NLRP6 inflammasome, which mediates inflammasome activation in response to various pathogen-associated signals, leading to maturation and secretion of IL1B and IL18. Inflammasomes are supramolecular complexes that assemble in the cytosol in response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals and play critical roles in innate immunity and inflammation. Acts as a recognition receptor (PRR): recognizes and binds specific pathogens and other damage-associated signals, such as lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a cell-wall component of Gram-positive bacteria, or double stranded RNA (dsRNA). May also recognize and bind lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria; however, LPS is probably not a major activator of the NLRP6 inflammasome. Following LTA- or dsRNA-binding, NLRP6 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), enhancing multivalent interactions, an essential step for the formation of the NLRP6 inflammasome polymeric complex. The NLRP6 inflammasome acts by promoting recruitment of effector pro-inflammatory caspases (CASP1 and/or CASP4) that catalyze maturation and secretion of IL1B and IL18 in the extracellular milieu. The NLRP6 inflammasome plays a central role in the maintenance of epithelial integrity and host defense against microbial infections in the intestine. Required to restrict infection against Gram-positive bacteria by recognizing lipoteichoic acid (LTA), leading to recruitment of CASP4 and CASP1, and subsequent maturation and secretion of IL1B and IL18. Involved in intestinal antiviral innate immunity together with DHX15: recognizes and binds viral dsRNA to restrict infection by enteric viruses through the interferon pathway and GSDMD-dependent release of IL18. Required to prevent infection by the apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium in enterocytes by promoting GSDMD-dependent release of IL18. The NLRP6 inflammasome may also regulate the gut microbiota composition by acting as a sensor of microbiota-associated metabolites to form a PYCARD/ASC-dependent inflammasome for downstream IL18 release and secretion of antimicrobial peptides. Essential for gut mucosal self-renewal and proliferation. Regulate mucus secretion in an inflammasome- and autophagy-dependent manner to prevent invasion by enteric bacteria,. During systemic bacterial infections, the NLRP6 inflammasome negatively regulates neutrophil recruitment and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation. May promote peripheral nerve recovery following injury via an inflammasome-independent mechanism.
Subunit / interactions. Homomultimer; forms the NLRP6 inflammasome polymeric complex, a filament composed of homopolymers in response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals. The core of NLRP6 inflammasomes consists of a signal sensor component (NLRP6), an adapter (PYCARD/ASC), which recruits effector pro-inflammatory caspases (CASP1 and CASP4). Interacts (via pyrin domain) with PYCARD/ASC (via pyrin domain); interaction takes place following NLRP6 activation and formation of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), initiating nucleation which greatly enhances further addition of soluble PYCARD/ASC molecules to the speck in a prion-like polymerization process. Clustered PYCARD/ASC nucleates the formation of CASP1 (or possibly CASP4) filaments through the interaction of their respective CARD domains, acting as a platform for CASP1 polymerization. CASP1 filament formation increases local enzyme concentration, resulting in trans-autocleavage and activation. Active CASP1 then processes IL1B and IL18 precursors, leading to the release of mature cytokines in the extracellular milieu and inflammatory response. Interacts with DHX15.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Inflammasome. Cell membrane. Nucleus membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, predominantly in granulocytes and, at lower levels, in CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells. Expressed in colonic myofibroblasts (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. Polyubiquitinated with ‘Lys-63’-linked chains, promoting the interaction with PYCARD/ASC and formation of the NLRP6 inflammasome. Deubiquitination by CYLD decreases the interaction with PYCARD/ASC.
Domain organisation. The poly-Lys disordered region (352-356) mediates the formation of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), an essential step for nucleation and formation of the NLRP6 inflammasome complex.
Induction. Up-regulated by rosiglitazone, a PPARG agonist, in Caco2 and HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells. Down-regulated by CRH (at protein level).
Similarity. Belongs to the NLRP family.
