Viral protease binds to nucleosomal DNA and cleaves nuclear cGAS that attenuates type I interferon

ABSTRACT Nuclear cyclic GMP-AMP synthetase (cGAS) binds to nucleosome with high affinity to prevent its activation by self-DNA. Upon stimulation with double-stranded DNA, cGAS is activated and translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, guided by its N-terminal domain. However, it remains unclea...
