DNA-induced liquid phase condensation of cGAS activates innate immune signaling

The binding of DNA to cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) leads to the production of the secondary messenger cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which activates innate immune responses. Here, we show that DNA binding to cGAS robustly induced the formation of liquid-like droplets in which cGAS was activated. The diso...
