A general treatment of very tight-binding inhibition is described. It was applied to purified endogenous RNAase inhibitor from rat testis. This treatment discriminates among the different types of inhibition and allows for calculation of the inhibition parameters. When very tight-binding inhibitions are studied at similar molar concentrations of both enzyme and inhibitor, a further approach is required. This is also described and applied to the RNAase inhibitor. A Ki value of 3.2 x 10(-12) M was found for this inhibitor protein. On the basis of this result, it was considered inappropriate to classify this type of inhibitor in terms of competitive or non-competitive, as has been done for such inhibitors so far. Functional consequences of this analysis are discussed for the RNAase-RNAase inhibitor system.

Inflammasomes are cytosolic innate immune sensors that, upon activation, induce caspase-1 mediated inflammation. Although inflammation is protective, uncontrolled excessive inflammation can cause inflammatory diseases and is also detrimental in COVID-19 infection. However, the underlying mechanisms that control inflammasome activation are incompletely understood. Here we report that the leucine rich repeat (LRR) protein Ribonuclease inhibitor (RNH1), which shares homology with LRRs of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain (PYD)-containing (NLRP) proteins, attenuates inflammasome activation. Mechanistically, RNH1 decreased pro-IL1b expression and induced proteasome-mediated caspase-1 degradation. Corroborating this, mouse models of monosodium urate (MSU)-induced peritonitis and LPS-induced endotoxemia, which are dependent on caspase-1, respectively showed increased neutrophil infiltration and lethality in Rnh1-/- mice compared to WT mice. Further, RNH1 protein levels were negatively correlated with inflammation and disease severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. We propose that RNH1 is a new inflammasome regulator with relevance to COVID-19 severity.
