TLDR
The crystal structure of STING bound to 2'3'-cGAMP revealed the structural basis of this high-affinity binding and a ligand-induced conformational change in STING that may underlie its activation, and showed that endogenous cGAMP in mammalian cells contains two distinct phosphodiester linkages.

Interferon-Stimulated Genes: A Complex Web of Host Defenses

TL;DR: This review begins by introducing interferon (IFN) and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway to highlight features that impact ISG production and describes ways in which ISGs both enhance innate pathogen-sensing capabilities and negatively regulate signaling through the Jak-STAT pathway.
