The mitotic kinase NEK7 binds to inactive NRLP3 leading to the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. From left to right: apo-NEK7 (inactive), active NEK7, NE7 bound to NLRP3. Inflammasomes elicit host defense inside cells by activating caspase-1 for cytokine maturation and cell death. Dysregulation of inflammation activation can lead to cancer, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases. Source: PDB entries 2WQM, 6NPY
