General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | knockout or knockdown of the enzyme blocks cytokine induction by HIV, murine leukemia virus, and simian immunodeficiency virus. cGAS mutant cell lines fail to activate IRF3 in response to HT-DNA transfection or HSV-1 infection | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the enzyme is an innate immune sensor of HIV and other retroviruses. The enzyme binds to and activates the adaptor protein STING to induce type I interferons and other cytokines | Homo sapiens |
