STING, also known as mSTING, or Endoplasmic reticulum interferon stimulator, ERIS, Mediator of IRF3 activation, MMITA or Transmembrane protein 173, and encoded by the gene Tmem 173/Eris/Mita/Mpys/Sting, is a facilitator of innate immune signaling that acts as a sensor of cytosolic DNA from bacteria and viruses and promotes the production of type I interferons. STING 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 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. STING also mediates cell death signaling via the activation of the ERK pathway. STING is found in multiple intracellular locations including the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma cell membrane, mitochondrion outer membrane, and perinuclear regions. STING is expressed in the B-cell lineage both immature and mature B cells but not plasma cells. Mutations in STING cause defects in innate immunity and compromised immune health.

Patients afflicted with Stimulator of interferon gene (STING) gain-of-function mutations frequently present with debilitating interstitial lung disease (ILD) that is recapitulated in mice expressing the STINGV154M mutation (VM). Prior radiation chimera studies revealed an unexpected and critical role for non-hematopoietic
STING (STimulator of Interferon Genes) is a cytosolic sensor for cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) and initiates an innate immune response upon binding to CDNs. Coxiella burnetii is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium and the causative agent of the zoonotic disease Q

The arbovirus West Nile virus (WNV) is a danger to global health. Spread primarily by mosquitoes, WNV causes about 2000 cases per year in the United States. The natural mosquito immune response controls viral replication so that the host survives
Detection of cytosolic DNA by the enzyme cGAS triggers the production of cGAMP, a second messenger that binds and activates the adaptor protein STING, which leads to interferon (IFN) production. Here, we found that in vivo natural killer (NK) cell killing
