细胞质中 DNA 的存在是触发免疫和炎症反应的危险信号。胞质 DNA 结合并激活环 GMP-AMP (cGAMP) 合酶 (cGAS),产生第二信使 cGAMP。 cGAMP 与接头蛋白 STING 结合并激活信号级联,从而产生 I 型干扰素和其他细胞因子。在这里,我们报告了载脂蛋白形式的人类 cGAS 的晶体结构,代表其自动抑制构象,以及 cGAMP 结合和硫酸盐结合形式。这些结构揭示了激活环的类似开关构象变化,导致催化位点的重排。 DNA 结合的 cGAS 的结构揭示了由与两个 DNA 分子结合的二聚体 cGAS 组成的复合物。 cGAS 突变体的功能分析表明,蛋白质-蛋白质界面和两个 DNA 结合表面对于 cGAS 激活至关重要。这些结果为 cGAS 传感 DNA 的机制提供了新的见解。
The presence of DNA in the cytoplasm is a danger signal that triggers immune and inflammatory responses. Cytosolic DNA binds to and activates cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), which produces the second messenger cGAMP. cGAMP binds to the adaptor protein STING and activates a signaling cascade that leads to the production of type-I interferons and other cytokines. Here we report the crystal structures of human cGAS in its apo form, representing its auto-inhibited conformation, as well as cGAMP-bound and sulfate-bound forms. These structures reveal switch-like conformational changes of an activation loop that result in the rearrangement of the catalytic site. The structure of DNA-bound cGAS reveals a complex composed of dimeric cGAS bound to two molecules of DNA. Functional analyses of cGAS mutants demonstrate that both the protein-protein interface and the two DNA binding surfaces are critical for cGAS activation. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of DNA sensing by cGAS.
