Excessive inflammasome activation leads to inflammatory diseases, but how inflammasomes are regulated by PYD-only adaptors is unclear. Here the authors show that the PYD-only protein POP2 inhibits both inflammasome priming and assembly by interfering, respectively, with IκBα activation and NLRP3-ASC interaction.
