cGAS Protein, Human (His-SUMO)
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
The cGAS protein is a nucleotidyl transferase that crucially mediates innate immunity by catalyzing the formation of 2',3'-cGAMP from ATP and GTP upon binding to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). As a DNA sensor, cGAS detects exogenous and endogenous DNA, triggering STING1 activation and type I interferon production. cGAS Protein, Human (His-SUMO) is the recombinant human-derived cGAS protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, N-SUMO labeled tag.
- Species: Human

Description
The cGAS protein is a nucleotidyl transferase that crucially mediates innate immunity by catalyzing the formation of 2',3'-cGAMP from ATP and GTP upon binding to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). As a DNA sensor, cGAS detects exogenous and endogenous DNA, triggering STING1 activation and type I interferon production. cGAS Protein, Human (His-SUMO) is the recombinant human-derived cGAS protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, N-SUMO labeled tag.
Background
cGAS Protein, a nucleotidyltransferase, plays a pivotal role in innate immunity by catalyzing the formation of cyclic GMP-AMP (2',3'-cGAMP) from ATP and GTP. Acting as a key DNA sensor, cGAS directly binds double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), inducing the synthesis of 2',3'-cGAMP, a second messenger that activates STING1, leading to the production of type-I interferon and triggering immune responses. Recognizing curved long dsDNAs, cGAS acts as a foreign DNA sensor, detecting the presence of DNA from viruses, retroviruses, bacteria, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Moreover, cGAS responds to endogenous DNA released during cellular stress, contributing to sterile inflammation. It regulates cellular senescence by binding to cytosolic chromatin fragments and participates in the inflammatory response to genome instability and double-stranded DNA breaks. cGAS is also implicated in sensing translation stress, and its activation inhibits homologous recombination repair in response to DNA damage. Human cGAS exhibits species-specific mechanisms of DNA recognition, allowing a more finely tuned response to pathogens.
