cGAS-STING: insight on the evolution of a primordial antiviral signaling cassette
8 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) functions in the cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway of innate immunity in mammals. It is activated upon binding the cyclic dinucleotide 2'3'-cGAMP, a second messenger produced by the enzyme cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS), which acts as the receptor for DNA in this pathway, and triggers the expression of interferons and other viral...
