Journal ArticleDOI

The CRAPome: a contaminant repository for affinity purification–mass spectrometry data

TL;DR: The contaminant repository for affinity purification (the CRAPome) is presented and its use for scoring protein-protein interactions is described and aggregating negative controls from multiple AP-MS studies can increase coverage and improve the characterization of background associated with a given experimental protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of innate immune adaptor proteins MAVS, STING, and TRIF induces IRF3 activation

TL;DR: A common signaling mechanism used by all three types of innate immune receptor-adaptor protein pairs to activate IRF3 and generate IFNs is reported, which is important because cells must regulate their IFN production carefully to avoid inflammation and autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cGAS-cGAMP-STING pathway connects DNA damage to inflammation, senescence, and cancer.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent findings on how genomic instability leads to cGAS activation and how this pathway critically connects DNA damage to autoinflammatory diseases, cellular senescence, and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptotic Caspases Prevent the Induction of Type I Interferons by Mitochondrial DNA

TL;DR: The results show that mitochondria have the capacity to simultaneously expose a cell-intrinsic inducer of the IFN response and to inactivate this response in a caspase-dependent manner, which provides a dual control, which determines whether mitochondria initiate an immunologically silent or a proinflammatory type of cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy induction via STING trafficking is a primordial function of the cGAS pathway.

TL;DR: It is reported that cGAMP-induced autophagy is important for the clearance of DNA and viruses in the cytosol and Interestingly, STING from the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis inducesAutophagy but not interferons in response to stimulation by cGamp, which suggests that induction of autophileagy is a primordial function of the cGAS–STING pathway.
