Molecular cloning of the interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme

DP Cerretti, CJ Kozlosky, B Mosley, N Nelson, K Van Ness, TA Greenstreet, CJ March, Kronheim SR, T Druck, LA Cannizzaro, and al. et

Immunex Corporation, Seattle, WA 98101.

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) mediates a wide range of immune and inflammatory responses. The active cytokine is generated by proteolytic cleavage of an inactive precursor. A complementary DNA encoding a protease that carries out this cleavage has been cloned. Recombinant expression in COS-7 cells enabled the cells to process precursor IL-1 beta to the mature form. Sequence analysis indicated that the enzyme itself may undergo proteolytic processing. The gene encoding the protease was mapped to chromosomal band 11q23, a site frequently involved in rearrangement in human cancers.
