A cell-free assay implicates a role of sphingomyelin and cholesterol in STING phosphorylation

Abstract Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is essential for the type I interferon response induced by microbial DNA from virus or self-DNA from mitochondria/nuclei. In response to emergence of such DNAs in the cytosol, STING translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, and activate...
