Engineered cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) variant enzymes

Abstract

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) enzymes have been engineered to produce polypeptides having increased cGAS activity in the cyclization of modified nucleoside triphosphates, including thiolated or fluorinated nucleoside triphosphates, and polynucleotides encoding these enzymes, as well as vectors and host cells comprising these polynucleotides and polypeptides. Methods for producing cGAS enzymes, compositions comprising the cGAS enzymes, and methods of using the engineered cGAS enzymes are useful for the production of pharmaceutical compounds.
