Beyond self-eating: The control of nonautophagic functions and signaling pathways by autophagy-related proteins. [PDF]
The identification of conserved autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) that mediate bulk degradation of cytosolic material laid the foundation for breakthroughs linking autophagy to a litany of physiological processes and disease conditions.

TREX1 dictates the immune fate of irradiated cancer cells
The optimal radiation dose and fractionation to induce anti-tumor immunity remain elusive. We recently found that the exonuclease TREX1 abrogates the immunogenicity of irradiated cancer cells by degrading interferon-stimulatory cytosolic dsDNA.

Duck cGAS inhibits DNA and RNA virus replication by activating IFNs and antiviral ISGs
Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS) is a pivotal adaptor of the signaling pathways involving the pattern recognition receptors and plays an important role in apoptosis and immune regulation.

The multifaceted functions of cGAS
Abstract Pattern recognition receptors are critical for the sensing of pathogen-associated molecular patterns or danger-associated molecular patterns and subsequent mounting of innate immunity and shaping of adaptive immunity. The identification of 2′3′-cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) as a ...

Roles of Emerging RNA-Binding Activity of cGAS in Innate Antiviral Response
cGAS, a DNA sensor in mammalian cells, catalyzes the generation of 2’-3’-cyclic AMP-GMP (cGAMP) once activated by the binding of free DNA. cGAMP can bind to STING, activating downstream TBK1-IRF-3 signaling to initiate the expression of type I ...

Anisotropic selection in cellular genetic algorithms [PDF]
In this paper we introduce a new selection scheme in cellular genetic algorithms (cGAs). Anisotropic Selection (AS) promotes diversity and allows accurate control of the selective pressure.

Topoisomerase II inhibitors induce DNA damage-dependent interferon responses circumventing Ebola virus immune evasion [PDF]
Ebola virus (EBOV) protein VP35 inhibits production of interferon alpha/beta (IFN) by blocking RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathways, thereby promoting virus replication and pathogenesis.

Barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 protects against a basal cGAS-STING response [PDF]
Although the pathogen recognition receptor pathways that activate cell-intrinsic antiviral responses are well delineated, less is known about how the host regulates this response to prevent sustained signaling and possible immune-mediated damage. Using a
