Recently, it has been shown that caspase 1 activates caspase 7 during infections with pathogens such as Salmonella typhimurium, Chromobacterium violeceum, and Listeria monocytogenes infection models, to which caspase 7 activation protects against cellular injury by driving the plasma membrane repair mechanisms [54,55]. The gene discussed is CASP1; the disease is infection.
