cGAS-like receptors drive a systemic STING-dependent host response in Drosophila by Xianlong Ai, Huimin Deng, Xiaoyan Li, Ziming Wei, Yuqiang Chen, Ting Yin, Junhui Zhang, Jingxian Huang, Haoming Li, Xiaoqing Lin, Long Tan, Di Chen, Xiaohan Zhang, Xiuqing Zhang, Carine Meignin, Jean-Luc Imler, Hua Cai

“…Four tissues strongly respond to injection of the cyclic dinucleotide 3′2′- cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP): the central nervous system, midgut, Malpighian tubules, and genital ducts. The pattern of STING::GFP induction in flies injected with 3′2′-cGAMP or infected by two viruses with different tropism suggests that the reporter is induced by a systemic signal produced in virus-infected cells. …”
