Cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can trigger the interferon response to promote disease progression, but mtDNA sensing mechanisms remain elusive. Lei et al. have shown that Z-DNA binding protein1 (ZBP1) cooperates with cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) to sense Z-form mtDNA and transmit mtDNA stress signals to promote diseases such as cardiotoxicity, providing an important piece of the mtDNA stress landscape.
细胞质中的线粒体DNA(mtDNA)可触发干扰素反应以促进疾病进展,但mtDNA的传感机制仍不清楚。雷等人发现,Z-DNA结合蛋白1(ZBP1)与环磷酸鸟苷-腺苷合成酶(cGAS)协同作用,以感知Z型mtDNA并传递mtDNA应激信号,从而促进诸如心脏毒性等疾病的发生,这为mtDNA应激情况提供了重要信息。
