Screening and Identification of Novel cGAS Homologues Using a Combination of in Vitro and In Vivo Protein Synthesis

The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) catalyzes the synthesis of the multifunctional second messenger, cGAMP, in metazoans. Although numerous cGAS homologues are predicted in protein databases, the catalytic activity towards cGAMP synthesis has been proven for only four of them. Therefore, we selected...
