The inflammasome adaptor ASC regulates adaptive immune cell functions by controlling DOCK2-mediated Rac activation and actin polymerization

The adaptor protein ASC contributes to innate immunity through the assembly of caspase-1-activating inflammasome complexes. We demonstrate that ASC plays an inflammasome-independent cell-intrinsic role in adaptive immune cells. Asc−/− mice displayed defective antigen presentation by dendritic cells...
