Résumé

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a major cytosolic DNA sensor that plays a significant role in innate immunity. Upon binding to double stranded DNA (dsDNA), cGAS utilizes GTP and ATP to synthesize the second messenger cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP). The cGAMP then binds to the adapter protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING) in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in the activation of the transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and subsequent induction of type I interferon. An important question is how cGAS distinguishes between self and non-self DNA. While cGAS binds to the phosphate backbone of DNA without discrimination, its activation is influenced by physical features such as DNA length, inter-DNA distance, and mechanical flexibility. This suggests that the recognition of DNA by cGAS may depend on these physical features. In this article we summarize the recent progress in research on cGAS-STING pathway involved in antiviral defense, cellular senescence and anti-tumor response, and focus on DNA recognition mechanisms based on the physical features.
