Bacteriophages antagonize cGAS-like immunity in bacteria

TL;DR: A native model system is established to study CBASS and a common phage-encoded CBASS antagonist is identified, demonstrating that CBASS is a bona fide anti-phage immune system in nature.

STING mediates immune responses in a unicellular choanoflagellate

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis, one of the closest living relatives of animals, as a model for studying mechanisms underlying pathogen recognition and immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ubiquitin-like conjugation by bacterial cGAS enhances anti-phage defence

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors showed that the phage protein Vs.4 antagonized cGAS signalling by binding tightly to cGAMP (dissociation constant of approximately 30 nM) and sequestering it.

TLR9 in MAFLD and NASH: At the Intersection of Inflammation and Metabolism.

TL;DR: Toll-like Receptor 9 (TLR9) is an ancient receptor integral to the primordial functions of inflammation and metabolism and it functions to regulate homeostasis in a healthy system under acute stress.

Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase is a Cytosolic DNA Sensor that Activates the Type-I Interferon Pathway

TL;DR: Results indicate that cGAS is a cytosolic DNA sensor that induces interferons by producing the second messenger cGAMP, which belongs to the nucleotidyltransferase family.

Autophagy in immunity and inflammation

TL;DR: A crucial role is revealed for the autophagy pathway and proteins in immunity and inflammation, and they balance the beneficial and detrimental effects of immunity andinflammation, and thereby may protect against infectious, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Functional role of type I and type II interferons in antiviral defense.

TL;DR: Comparison of mice lacking either type I or type II IFN receptors showed that, at least in response to some viruses, both IFN systems are essential for antiviral defense and are functionally nonredundant.

STING is an endoplasmic reticulum adaptor that facilitates innate immune signalling.

TL;DR: The identification of a molecule (STING; stimulator of interferon genes) that appears essential for effective innate immune signalling processes is reported, implying a potential role for the translocon in innate signalling pathways activated by select viruses as well as intracellular DNA.

STING regulates intracellular DNA-mediated, type I interferon-dependent innate immunity

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.
