α-actinin accounts for the bioactivity of actin preparations in inducing STAT target genes in Drosophila melanogaster

Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are molecules exposed or released by dead cells that trigger or modulate immunity and tissue repair. In vertebrates, the cytoskeletal component F-actin is a DAMP specifically recognised by DNGR-1, an innate immune receptor. Previously we suggested that ac...
