The CRL5-SPSB3 ubiquitin ligase targets nuclear cGAS for degradation

Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Pauline Ambre Melenec, Ying Liu, Pengbiao Xu, Chong Liu, Lingyun Li

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) senses aberrant DNA during infection, cancer and inflammatory disease, and initiates potent innate immune responses through the synthesis of 2 ' 3 '-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP)1-7. The indiscriminate activity of cGAS towards DNA d ...

Emerging dimensions of cellular cGAS-STING signaling

Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey

The recognition of DNA through the cGAS-STING pathway plays a critical role in antiviral immunity, but can also drive maladaptive immune responses underlying several pathological conditions. Despite its importance, understanding the organization of cGAS-ST ...

Structural mechanism of cGAS inhibition by the nucleosome

Rudolf Hovius, Simone Cavadini, Beat Fierz, Andrea Ablasser, Sélène-Véronique Glück, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Alexiane Clara Decout, Kristina Makasheva, Pauline Ambre Melenec

The DNA sensor cGAS initiates innate immune responses following microbial infection, cellular stress, and cancer1. Upon activation by double-stranded DNA, cytosolic cGAS produces 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP and triggers inflammatory cytokine and type I interferon ...

BAF restricts cGAS on nuclear DNA to prevent innate immune activation

Beat Fierz, Andrea Ablasser, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Murat Kaynak, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Alexiane Clara Decout, Marilena Wischnewski, Kristina Makasheva

The appearance of DNA in the cytosol is perceived as a danger signal that stimulates potent immune responses through cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS). How cells regulate the activity of cGAS toward self-DNA and guard a ...

A carrier for cyclic dinucleotides

Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are potent activators of the innate immune sensor STING. The identification of a CDN importer sheds new light on the regulation of extracellular CDNs. ...
