== Function ==

Genetic ablation of the [paracaspase](/source/paracaspase) gene in mice and biochemical studies have shown that paracaspase is a crucial protein for T and B [lymphocytes](/source/lymphocytes) activation. It has an important role in the activation of the transcription factor [NF-κB](/source/NF-%CE%BAB), in the production of [interleukin-2](/source/interleukin-2) (IL-2) and in T and B lymphocytes proliferation<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ruefli-Brasse AA, French DM, Dixit VM | title = Regulation of NF-kappaB-dependent lymphocyte activation and development by paracaspase | journal = Science | volume = 302 | issue = 5650 | pages = 1581–1584 | date = November 2003 | pmid = 14576442 | doi = 10.1126/science.1090769 | s2cid = 19381027 | doi-access = free | bibcode = 2003Sci...302.1581R }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ruland J, Duncan GS, Wakeham A, Mak TW | title = Differential requirement for Malt1 in T and B cell antigen receptor signaling | journal = Immunity | volume = 19 | issue = 5 | pages = 749–758 | date = November 2003 | pmid = 14614861 | doi = 10.1016/S1074-7613(03)00293-0 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.<ref>{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: MALT1 mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation gene 1| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=10892}}</ref>

In addition, a role for paracaspase has been shown in the innate immune response mediated by the zymosan receptor Dectin-1 in [macrophages](/source/macrophages) and [dendritic cells](/source/dendritic_cells), and in response to the stimulation of certain [G protein-coupled receptors](/source/G_protein-coupled_receptors).<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Wegener E, Krappmann D | title = CARD-Bcl10-Malt1 signalosomes: missing link to NF-kappaB | journal = Science's STKE | volume = 2007 | issue = 384 | article-number = pe21 | date = May 2007 | pmid = 17473310 | doi = 10.1126/stke.3842007pe21 | s2cid = 86150342 }}</ref>

Sequence analysis proposes that paracaspase has an [N-terminal](/source/N-terminal) death domain, two central immunoglobulin-like domains involved in the binding to the B-cell lymphoma 10 (Bcl10) protein and a caspase-like domain. The death domain and immunoglobulin-like domains participate in binding to [BCL10](/source/BCL10). Activation of MALT1 downstream NF-κB signaling and protease activity occurs when BCL10/MALT1 gets recruited to an activated [CARD-CC](/source/CARD-CC_family) family protein ([CARD9](/source/CARD9), [-10](/source/CARD10), [-11](/source/CARD11) or [-14](/source/CARD14)) in a so-called '''CBM''' (CARD-CC/BCL10/MALT1) signaling complex.

[Paracaspase](/source/Paracaspase) has been shown to have [proteolytic](/source/proteolytic) activity through its caspase-like domain in T [lymphocytes](/source/lymphocytes). [Cysteine](/source/Cysteine) 464 and [histidine](/source/histidine) 414 are crucial for this activity. Like metacaspases, the paracaspase cleaves substrates after an [arginine](/source/arginine) residue. To date, several paracaspase substrates have been described (see below). [Bcl10](/source/BCL10) is cut after arginine 228. This removes the last five amino acids at the [C-terminus](/source/C-terminus) and is crucial for T cell adhesion to [fibronectin](/source/fibronectin), but not for [NF-κB](/source/NF-%CE%BAB) activation and [IL-2](/source/Interleukin_2) production. However, using a peptide-based inhibitor (z-VRPR-fmk) of the paracaspase proteolytic activity, it has been shown that this activity is required for a sustain NF-κB activation and IL-2 production, suggesting that paracaspase may have others substrates involved in T cell-mediated NF-κB activation.<ref name="Rebeaud_2008">{{cite journal | vauthors = Rebeaud F, Hailfinger S, Posevitz-Fejfar A, Tapernoux M, Moser R, Rueda D, Gaide O, Guzzardi M, Iancu EM, Rufer N, Fasel N, Thome M | title = The proteolytic activity of the paracaspase MALT1 is key in T cell activation | journal = Nature Immunology | volume = 9 | issue = 3 | pages = 272–281 | date = March 2008 | pmid = 18264101 | doi = 10.1038/ni1568 | s2cid = 205361198 }}</ref> [A20](/source/TNFAIP3), a deubiquitinase, has been shown to be cut by paracaspase in Human and in mouse. Cells expressing an uncleavable A20 mutant is however still capable to activate NF-κB, but cells expressing the C-terminal or the N-terminal A20 cleavage products activates more NF-κB than cells expressing wild-type A20, indicating that cleavage of A20 leads to its inactivation. Since A20 has been described has an inhibitor of NF-κB, this suggests that paracaspase-mediated A20 cleavage in [T lymphocytes](/source/T_lymphocytes) is necessary for a proper NF-κB activation.<ref name="Coornaert_2008">{{cite journal | vauthors = Coornaert B, Baens M, Heyninck K, Bekaert T, Haegman M, Staal J, Sun L, Chen ZJ, Marynen P, Beyaert R | title = T cell antigen receptor stimulation induces MALT1 paracaspase-mediated cleavage of the NF-kappaB inhibitor A20 | journal = Nature Immunology | volume = 9 | issue = 3 | pages = 263–271 | date = March 2008 | pmid = 18223652 | doi = 10.1038/ni1561 | s2cid = 29300246 }}</ref>

By targeting paracaspase proteolytic activity, it might be possible to develop new drugs that might be useful for the treatment of certain [lymphomas](/source/lymphomas) or [autoimmune](/source/autoimmune) disorders.

== Interactions ==

MALT1 has been shown to [interact](/source/Protein-protein_interaction) with [BCL10](/source/BCL10),<ref name=pmid11090634>{{cite journal | vauthors = Uren AG, O'Rourke K, Aravind LA, Pisabarro MT, Seshagiri S, Koonin EV, Dixit VM | title = Identification of paracaspases and metacaspases: two ancient families of caspase-like proteins, one of which plays a key role in MALT lymphoma | journal = Molecular Cell | volume = 6 | issue = 4 | pages = 961–967 | date = October 2000 | pmid = 11090634 | doi = 10.1016/S1097-2765(05)00086-9 | doi-access = free }}</ref> [TRAF6](/source/TRAF6) and [SQSTM1/p62](/source/Sequestosome_1).

== Protease substrates ==

MALT1 (PCASP1) is part of the [paracaspase](/source/paracaspase) family and shows proteolytic activity. Since many of the substrates are involved in regulation of inflammatory responses, the protease activity of MALT1 has emerged as an interesting therapeutic target. Currently known protease substrates are (in order of reported discovery):
