Fig. 4

a HEK293 cells stably expressing mouse cGAS fused with a C-terminal NLS (mcGAS-NLS) or the LL/RK-NLS mutant were fractionated and blotted as indicated. C1QBP: membrane marker; α-tubulin: cytosolic marker; H3: nuclear marker. b Schematic of the doxycycline (Dox)-induced mcGAS and LL/RK-NLS constructs. TRE: Tet Response Element; Puro: puromycin; T2A: Thosea asigna virus 2A-like peptide. c HEK293 cells stably expressing mcGAS were treated with 2 μg/mL Dox for 24 h. Cells were harvested at the indicated times after Dox removal. Cell lysates were blotted as indicated. d Stable cGAS knockout RAW264.7 cells reconstituted with the inducible mcGAS or the LL/RK-NLS mutant were treated with 2 μg/mL Dox for 24 h. Then cells were fractionated into five fractions and blotted as indicated. STING: membrane marker; α-tubulin: cytosolic marker; H3: nuclear marker.
