'''Stimulator of interferon genes protein''' or '''transmembrane protein 173''' (STING) is an ER-associated membrane protein.  STING signals immune responses in human and other animals. STING is activated by cyclic GMP-AMP produced by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase whose activity is triggered by infections of DNA-containing pathogens<ref>PMID:30842659</ref>. A PLPLRT/SD conserved motif at the STING C-terminal plays a critical role in turning on the immune system to fight against viral infections<ref>PMID:31118511</ref>.

The biological assembly of UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxymyristoyl)glucosamine N-acyltransferase is <scene name='87/873780/Cv/4'>homotrimer</scene> (PDB code [[6uec]]). The 3D structure of LpxD complex with a ligand shows the binding site to be situated at <scene name='87/873780/Cv/6'>the interface of the crystallographic dimer</scene>. There are extensive polar interactions with LpxD as well as hydrogen bonds<ref>PMID:31664082</ref>.
The 3D structure of the complex between human STING and cyclic GMP-AMP shows the dinucleotide bound by the symmetric dimer of STING.  The U-shaped cleft between the 2 subunits makes numerous interactions with the U-shaped ligand.  A Tyr residue from each monomer stacks against each of the purine moieties while an Arg residue from each monomer forms hydrogen bonds to the dinucleotide <ref>PMID:23910378</ref>.
