Interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) processes an inactive precursor, to the proinflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1 beta, and may regulate, programmed cell death in neuronal cells. The high-resolution structure of, human ICE in complex with an inhibitor has been determined by X-ray, diffraction. The structure confirms the relationship between human ICE and, cell-death proteins in other organisms. The active site spans both the 10, and 20K subunits, which associate to form a tetramer, suggesting a, mechanism for ICE autoactivation.
