A Variety of Nucleic Acid Species Are Sensed by cGAS, Implications for Its Diverse Functions
4 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
activation of the key downstream adaptor protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING). This is the most classic biological function of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and is critical for preventing pathogenic microorganism invasion. In addition, cGAS can interact with various types of nucleic acids, including cDNA, DNA : RNA hybrids, and circular RNA, to contribute to a diverse set of biological functions. An...
