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

The interferon response to intracellular DNA: why so many receptors?

TL;DR: This review presents the evidence for the various interferon-inducing DNA receptors proposed to date, and examines the hypotheses that might explain why so many different receptors appear to be involved in the innate immune recognition of intracellular DNA.

STING is a direct innate immune sensor of cyclic di-GMP

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that STING binds directly to radiolabelled cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP), and it is shown that unlabelledcyclic dinucleotides, but not other nucleotides or nucleic acids, compete with c-di -GMP for binding to STING.

TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the H2O2/H2O/O2 mixture is dominated by the H3O/ O2 mixture, rather than the O2/O3 mixture, which is more commonly associated with H2Os.

STING specifies IRF3 phosphorylation by TBK1 in the cytosolic DNA signaling pathway.

TL;DR: STING is shown to stimulate phosphorylation of IRF3 by the kinase TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1) in an in vitro reconstitution system, suggesting that STING functions as a scaffold protein to specify and promote the phosphorylated of IRf3 by TBk1.

The helicase DDX41 senses intracellular DNA mediated by the adaptor STING in dendritic cells

TL;DR: The identification of DDX41, a member of the DEXDc family of helicases, as an intracellular DNA sensor in myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) is reported, suggesting thatDDX41 is an additional DNA sensor that depends on STING to sense pathogenic DNA.
