cGAS in action: Expanding roles in immunity and inflammation

TL;DR: The latest advances uncovering how cGAS and STING control inflammatory responses and are themselves regulated are reviewed, suggesting a major clinical impact in areas of cancer immunotherapy and vaccine development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cGAS-STING pathway as a therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: The cGAS-STING pathway has emerged as a key mediator of inflammation in the settings of infection, cellular stress and tissue damage as discussed by the authors, which has enabled the development of selective small-molecule inhibitors with the potential to target the CGS-STing axis in a number of inflammatory diseases.

The DNA Inflammasome in Human Myeloid Cells Is Initiated by a STING-Cell Death Program Upstream of NLRP3

TL;DR: It is shown that AIM2 is dispensable for DNA-mediated inflammasome activation in human myeloid cells, and targeting the cGAS-STING-LCD-NLRP3 pathway will ameliorate pathology in inflammatory conditions that are associated with cytosolic DNA sensing.

Cyclic GMP-AMP signalling protects bacteria against viral infection.

TL;DR: cGAMP signalling in bacteria mediates anti-phage defence, as part of a genetic system suggested to be the ancient ancestor of the animal cGAS–STING innate immune pathway.

Characterization of the core elements of the NF-κB signaling pathway of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis.

TL;DR: The results indicate that NF-κB pathway proteins in Nematostella are similar to their vertebrate homologs, and these results also provide a framework for understanding the evolutionary origins of NF-σκB signaling.

Structural Biochemistry of a Vibrio cholerae Dinucleotide Cyclase Reveals Cyclase Activity Regulation by Folates

TL;DR: Sequence analysis showed that the residues involved in 5MTHFGLU2 binding are highly conserved in DncV orthologs, implying the presence of this regulation mechanism in a wide variety of bacteria.

Listeria monocytogenes Multidrug Resistance Transporters and Cyclic Di-AMP, Which Contribute to Type I Interferon Induction, Play a Role in Cell Wall Stress

TL;DR: It is reported that it is not MdrM alone but a cohort of MDR transporters that together contribute to type I interferon induction during infection and support the model that MDRtransporters mediate c-di-AMP secretion to regulate peptidoglycan synthesis in response to cell wall stress.

Nucleic acid-induced antiviral immunity in invertebrates: An evolutionary perspective

TL;DR: The current understanding of nucleic acid-induced antiviral immunity in invertebrates is highlighted and the potential recognition and regulatory mechanisms that confer non-specific antiviral immune responses on invertebrate hosts are discussed.

Intronless and intron-containing type I IFN genes coexist in amphibian Xenopus tropicalis: Insights into the origin and evolution of type I IFNs in vertebrates.

TL;DR: This study contributes to a better understanding of the origin and evolution of type I IFNs in vertebrates, and of the occurrence of intronless and intron‐containingtype I IFN genes in higher vertebrates.
