cGLRs are a diverse family of pattern recognition receptors in animal innate immunity
2023-02-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase) is an enzyme in human cells that controls an immune response to cytosolic DNA. Upon binding DNA, cGAS synthesizes a nucleotide signal 2′3′-cGAMP that activates the protein STING and downstream immunity. Here we discover cGAS-like receptors (cGLRs) constitute a major family of pattern recognition receptors in animal innate immunity. Building on recent analysis in Dr...
