STING is a key player in the IFN response to cytosolic DNA, and its multimerization is commonly associated with activation of the pathway. A new study now shows that STING forms ‘puzzle’-like condensates to limit the IFN response and constrain antiviral immune activation.
STING是干扰素对胞质DNA反应中的关键因子,其多聚化通常与该信号通路的激活有关。一项新研究表明,STING会形成类似“拼图”的凝聚物,以限制干扰素反应并抑制抗病毒免疫激活。
