Upon detection of viral DNA, the cytoplasmic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) utilizes GTP and ATP as substrates to synthesize the second messenger molecule 2'3'cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which binds to the ER-associated adaptor protein MITA/STING to signal innate antiviral response to DNA virus. How the cGAS-MITA pathways are post-translationally regulated is not fully understood. In this study, we identified the tyrosine kinase CSK as a positive regulator of cGAS-MITA mediated innate antiviral response. CSK-deficiency inhibits DNA virus-triggered induction of downstream antiviral effector genes. Following DNA virus infection, CSK phosphorylates MITA at Y240 and Y245, which is important for its activation. These results suggest that CSK plays a role in modulating innate immune response to DNA virus.
当检测到病毒 DNA 时,细胞质 DNA 传感器环鸟苷酸-腺苷酸(cGAMP)合酶(cGAS)利用 GTP 和 ATP 作为底物合成第二信使分子 2'3'环鸟苷酸-腺苷酸(cGAMP),它与内质网相关衔接蛋白 MITA/STING 结合,以信号转导方式引发先天抗病毒反应来抵抗 DNA 病毒。cGAS-MITA 途径如何进行翻译后调控尚不完全清楚。在这项研究中,我们鉴定出酪氨酸激酶 CSK 是 cGAS-MITA 介导的先天抗病毒反应的正向调控因子。CSK 缺陷抑制 DNA 病毒触发的下游抗病毒效应基因的诱导。在 DNA 病毒感染后,CSK 在 Y240 和 Y245 处磷酸化 MITA,这对其激活很重要。这些结果表明,CSK 在调节先天免疫对 DNA 病毒的反应中发挥作用。
