| PubMed Abstract | Cyclic nucleotide GMP-AMP (cGAMP) plays a critical role in mediating the innate immune response through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. Recent ...Cyclic nucleotide GMP-AMP (cGAMP) plays a critical role in mediating the innate immune response through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. Recent studies showed that ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1) is a cGAMP exporter. The exported cGAMP can be imported into uninfected cells to stimulate a STING-mediated innate immune response. However, the molecular basis of cGAMP export mediated by ABCC1 remains unclear. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human ABCC1 in a ligand-free state and a cGAMP-bound state. These structures reveal that ABCC1 forms a homodimer via its N-terminal transmembrane domain. The ligand-bound structure shows that cGAMP is recognized by a positively charged pocket. Mutagenesis and functional studies confirmed the roles of the ligand-binding pocket in cGAMP recognition and export. This study provides insights into the structure and function of ABCC1 as a cGAMP exporter and lays a foundation for future research targeting ABCC1 in infection and anti-cancer immunity. |
