The DNA sensor, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), is essential for the detection of viral infection. In a recent issue of Science, two studies, Bridgeman et al. (2015) and Gentili et al. (2015), report a novel mechanism for propagating an antiviral signal be ...

The sensing of foreign DNA is crucial for host defense against several pathogens. In the cytosol the enzyme cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is critical for the recognition of pathogen-derived DNA and provides key signals that initiate immune responses. Beyo ...

The present invention relates to anti-tumor lymphocytes, and a variant cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) carrying an amino acid substitution of one or both arginines at amino acid positions 255 and 236 and/or an amino acid substitution of one or both lysines ...

The cGAS-cGAMP-STING pathway is essential for immune defense against pathogens. Upon binding DNA, cGAS synthesizes cGAMP, which activates STING, leading to potent innate immune effector responses. However, lacking specific features to distinguish between s ...

The present invention relates to compounds, compositions for use and methods for the treatment of a STING associated disease, condition, or disorder. ...

The present invention relates to a variant of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) carrying an amino acid substitution at one or more of (i) asparagine at amino acid position 513, (ii) asparagine at amino acid position 514, (iii) aspartic acid at amino acid posi ...

The present invention relates to compounds, compositions for use and methods for the treatment of a STING associated disease, condition, or disorder. ...

The cGAS-STING pathway drives innate immune activation in response to cytosolic DNA. This is important for immunity to bacteria and viruses, but aberrant cGAS-STING activity is also linked to inflammatory disease. Here, Ablasser and colleagues discuss how ...

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are potent activators of the innate immune sensor STING. The identification of a CDN importer sheds new light on the regulation of extracellular CDNs. ...

Two studies published in this issue of JEM, by Lepelley et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20200600) and Deng et al. (https:// doi.org/10.1084/jem.20201045), and two additional manuscripts by Mukai et al. (https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.20. 107664 Prepri ...
