NUDT2 loss defines quantitative limits for dinucleoside polyphosphate action on the cGAS-STING-TBK1 axis

NUDT2 is an emerging candidate for therapeutic intervention in cancer, and its inhibition or loss is known to elevate adenosine-containing dinucleoside polyphosphates (ApnNs), including diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A). Ap4A is a stress- and immune-associated nucleotide metabolite proposed to act as a second messenger, raising the possibility that NUDT2 targeting may unintentionally affect…
