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 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>. | |||
