Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS) detects viral or endogenous DNA, activating the innate immune response to infections and autoimmune diseases. Upon binding to double-stranded DNA, cGAS synthesizes 2'3' cGMP-AMP, which triggers type I interferon production. Besides its presence in the cytosol and nucleus, cGAS is found at the plasma membrane, although its significance remains unclear. Here, we report that cGAS associates with myosin 1F (MYO1F) at the plasma membrane of human and mouse macrophages. During viral infection, phosphorylation of MYO1F by spleen-associated tyrosine kinase (SYK) facilitates the recruitment of lysine acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A), which acetylates cGAS at lysine residues 421, 292, and 131, essential for its activation. Moreover, membrane-localized cGAS is crucial for signaling activation and type I interferon production triggered by virus-cell fusion due to Mn release from organelles. Our results highlight the importance of MYO1F-mediated cGAS localization for its full activation in response to viral infection.
环磷酸鸟苷(GMP)-环磷酸腺苷(AMP)合酶(cGAS)可检测病毒或内源性DNA,激活针对感染和自身免疫性疾病的先天免疫反应。与双链DNA结合后,cGAS会合成2'3' cGMP-AMP,从而触发I型干扰素的产生。除了存在于细胞质和细胞核中,cGAS还存在于质膜上,但其意义尚不清楚。在此,我们报告cGAS在人和小鼠巨噬细胞的质膜上与肌球蛋白1F(MYO1F)相关联。在病毒感染期间,脾相关酪氨酸激酶(SYK)对MYO1F的磷酸化促进了赖氨酸乙酰转移酶2A(KAT2A)的募集,KAT2A会使cGAS的赖氨酸残基421、292和131乙酰化,这些残基对其激活至关重要。此外,膜定位的cGAS对于由细胞器释放的锰导致的病毒-细胞融合引发的信号激活和I型干扰素产生至关重要。我们的结果突出了MYO1F介导的cGAS定位对其在病毒感染时完全激活的重要性。
