The CRL5-SPSB3 ubiquitin ligase targets nuclear cGAS for degradation

Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Pauline Ambre Melenec, Ying Liu, Pengbiao Xu, Chong Liu, Lingyun Li

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) senses aberrant DNA during infection, cancer and inflammatory disease, and initiates potent innate immune responses through the synthesis of 2 ' 3 '-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP)1-7. The indiscriminate activity of cGAS towards DNA d ...
