TLDR
In this article, the authors identify the helicase, DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 41 (DDX41) as the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) that senses both cyclic-di-GMP and cyclic -di-AMP.
Abstract
Cytosolic detection of bacterially derived secondary messengers cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) or cyclic -di-AMP (c-di-AMP) by the host immune system activates an innate immune response characterized by the induction of type I interferons (IFNs) Induction of IFN by c-di-GMP or c-di-AMP has been shown to be dependent on a stimulator of IFN genes-TANK binding kinase 1-IFN regulatory factor 3 (STING-TBK1-IRF3) signaling axis Although STING has been shown to interact with c-di-GMP, an upstream sensor of these cyclic dinucleotides is unknown Here we identify the helicase, DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 41 (DDX41) as the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) that senses both c-di-GMP and c-di-AMP DDX41 specifically and directly interacts with c-di-GMP Knockdown of DDX41 via shRNA in murine or human immune cells inhibits the induction of innate immune genes and results in defective STING, TBK1 and IRF3 activation in response to c-di-GMP or c-di-AMP Our findings suggest a mechanism whereby c-di-GMP and c-di-AMP molecules are detected by the DDX41 PRR, which complexes with the STING adaptor to signal to TBK1-IRF3 and activate the IFN response

Mechanisms of Immune Tolerance in Leukemia and Lymphoma

TL;DR: The mechanisms through which immune responses are generated against solid cancers are well characterized and knowledge of the immune evasion pathways exploited by these malignancies has grown considerably but the pathways that regulate immune activation or tolerance are less clear.

Inhibition of innate immune cytosolic surveillance by an M. tuberculosis phosphodiesterase

TL;DR: Findings reveal a crucial role of CDN homeostasis in governing the outcome of M. tuberculosis infection as well as a unique mechanism of subversion of the host's cytosolic surveillance pathway (CSP) by a bacterial PDE that may serve as an attractive antimicrobial target.

Crosstalk between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the host cell.

TL;DR: Several mechanisms to evade the human immune system at multiple levels are described, with an emphasis on the cyclic nucleotide signaling and subversion of host responses that occur at the intracellular level when tubercle bacilli encounter macrophages.

Recognition of microorganisms and activation of the immune response.

TL;DR: The mammalian immune system has innate and adaptive components, which cooperate to protect the host against microbial infections, and recent progress brings us closer to an integrated view of the immune system and its function in host defence.

TL;DR: It is shown that STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is critical for the induction of IFN by non-CpG intracellular DNA species produced by various DNA pathogens after infection.
