a cGAS and IFI16, as major DNA receptors in the cytoplasm, induce STING-dependent inflammatory cytokines and IFN production and inhibit viral replication by activating interferon-stimulated genes. b Posttranslational modifications of amino acid residues at different sites regulate the activity of cGAS and nuclear localization of IFI16; a variety of proteins have been shown to participate in regulating the activity of cGAS.
