Deskripsi

The activity and stability of the cytosolic DNA sensor cGAS, a key mediator of innate antiviral immunity and autoimmunity, is fine-tuned by post-translational modifications. Here, the authors demonstrate that the ubiquitin E3 ligase ARIH1 catalyzes the mono-ISGylation of cGAS and promotes its oligomerization in response to viral and self DNA.
