cGAS functions during mitosis. During mitotic arrest, cGAS is recruited to mitotic chromosomes, where it can be activated at a low level to promotes apoptosis. During normal mitosis process, cGAS activity is inhibited by several safeguard mechanisms including mitotic kinase Aurora B- or CDK1-medicated phosphorylation, chromatin tethering and BAF competitive DNA binding
