Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is an innate immune sensor for cytosolic microbial DNA 1 . After binding DNA, cGAS synthesizes the messenger 2'3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) 2-4 , which triggers cell-autonomous defence and the production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines via the activation of STING 5 ...
