Cyclic nucleotide-induced superhelical structure activates a bacterial TIR immune effector
2022-05-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cyclic nucleotide signalling is a key component of anti-viral defence in all domains of life, from bacteria to humans. Viral detection activates a nucleotide cyclase to generate a second messenger, resulting in activation of effector proteins. This is exemplified by the metazoan cGAS-STING innate immunity pathway 1 , which originated in bacteria 2 . These defence systems require a sensor domai...
