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[1]. 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[2]. Disease STING mutations are associated with autoimmune diseases[3]. Structural highlights The 3D structure of the complex between human STING and cyclic GMP-AMP shows the dinucleotide bound by the symmetric dimer of STING. The between the 2 subunits makes numerous interactions with the U-shaped ligand. (water molecules are shown as red spheres).
