The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes signaling pathway plays a central role in cells'ability to sense the presence of abnormal double-stranded DNA within the cytoplasm.Modulation of the function of the cytoplasmic DNA recognition receptor cGAS allows regulation of this signaling pathway.In recent years,research has identified protein post-translational modifications(PTMs),including phosphorylation,acetylation,ubiquitination,methylation,and SUMOylation,as having significant roles in regulating innate immune signaling pathways.This paper reviews how PTMs influence the function of cGAS and its downstream signaling pathways through various mechanisms.
