Function

STING_HUMAN Facilitator of innate immune signaling that acts as a sensor of cytosolic DNA from bacteria and viruses and promotes the production of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta). Innate immune response is triggered in response to non-CpG double-stranded DNA from viruses and bacteria delivered to the cytoplasm. Acts by recognizing and binding cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP), a second messenger produced by bacteria, and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), a messenger produced in response to DNA virus in the cytosol: upon binding of c-di-GMP or cGAMP, autoinhibition is alleviated and TMEM173/STING is able to activate both NF-kappa-B and IRF3 transcription pathways to induce expression of type I interferon and exert a potent anti-viral state. May be involved in translocon function, the translocon possibly being able to influence the induction of type I interferons. May be involved in transduction of apoptotic signals via its association with the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II). Mediates death signaling via activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) binds cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs), which induce a large conformational change of the protein. The structural basis of activation of STING by CDNs is rather well understood. Unliganded STING forms an open dimer that undergoes a large conformational change ( approximately 10 A) to a closed conformation upon the binding of a CDN molecule. This event activates downstream effectors of STING and subsequently leads to activation of the type 1 interferon response. However, a previously solved structure of STING with 3',3'-c-di-GMP shows Mg atoms mediating the interaction of STING with this CDN. Here, it is shown that no Mg atoms are needed for this interaction; in fact, magnesium can in some cases obstruct the binding of a CDN to STING.

No magnesium is needed for binding of the stimulator of interferon genes to cyclic dinucleotides.,Smola M, Birkus G, Boura E Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun. 2019 Sep 1;75(Pt 9):593-598. doi: , 10.1107/S2053230X19010999. Epub 2019 Aug 28. PMID:31475926[8]
