Small cytosolic dsDNAs repress cGAS activation and induce autophagy

2022-06-30

Abstract excerpt

Cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), a major cytosolic DNA sensor, activates innate immune responses by producing cGAMP, which activates stimulator of interferon genes (STING) 1 . Cytosolic DNA induces autophagy in a cGAS-dependent manner to avoid persistent immune stimulation. Although dsDNAs < 20 bp can bind to cGAS, robust cGAS activation requires dsDNAs > 45 bp 2-4 . However, whether cytosolic dsDNAs < 45...
