Abstract

In mammals, the enzyme cGAS senses the presence of cytosolic DNA and synthesizes the cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) 2′3′-cGAMP. This CDN binds to and activates the protein STING to trigger immunity. We recently discovered in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster two cGAS-like receptors (cGLRs) that activate STING-dependent antiviral immunity and can produce 3′2′-cGAMP, in addition to 2′3′-cGAMP. Here we explore CDN-mediated immunity in 14 different Drosophila species covering 50 million years of evolution and report that 2′3′-cGAMP and 3′2′-cGAMP fail to control infection by Drosophila C virus in D. serrata, D. sechellia and D. mojavensis . Using an accurate and sensitive mass spectrometry method, we discover an unexpected diversity of CDNs produced in a cGLR-dependent manner in response to viral infection in D. melanogaster , including a novel CDN, 2′3′-c-di-GMP. We show that 2′3′-c-di-GMP is the most potent STING agonist identified so far in D. melanogaster and that this molecule also activates a strong antiviral transcriptional response in D. serrata . Our results shed light on the evolution of cGLRs in flies and provide a basis for the understanding of the function and regulation of this emerging family of PRRs in animal innate immunity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
