Emerging roles of the processing of nucleic acids and Toll‐like receptors in innate immune responses to nucleic acids

Nucleic acid (NA) is continuously degraded in lysosomes, cytoplasm, and nucleus. NA degradation has a key role in preventing hazardous activation of NA sensors. DNA degradation by lysosomal and cytoplasmic DNases prevents homeostatic activation of cytoplasmic DNA sensing pathways. Crude NA, however,...
