"Immune signaling through nucleotide-based second messengers is a widespread defense mechanism observed across organisms, from bacteria to animals. Zeng et al. discovered a base-modified nucleotide, deoxyinosine 5′-triphosphate (dITP), that acts as an antiviral immune signal in bacteria" #Immunology
