Descriptions

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) plays a role as a sensor to directly bind cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP), the abacterial second message, facilitates innate immune signalling and promotes the production of type I interferon for the first line of defence immune. In human STRING1 (Q86WV6), the autoinhibitory conformation of cytosolic c-di-GMP binding domain (CBD) is formed via the intramolecular interaction with the C-terminal tail (CTT), which hinders the binding of c-di-GMP on STING.

Functions

Description
EC Number
Subcellular Localization
  • Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein
  • Cytoplasm, perinuclear region
  • Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein
  • Golgi apparatus membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein
  • Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein
  • Mitochondrion outer membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein
  • Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein
  • In response to double-stranded DNA stimulation, translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum through the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment and Golgi to post-Golgi vesicles, where the kinase TBK1 is recruited
  • Upon cGAMP-binding, translocates to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) in a process that is dependent on COPII vesicles; STING1-containing ERGIC serves as a membrane source for LC3 lipidation, which is a key step in autophagosome biogenesis
  • Localizes in the lysosome membrane in a TMEM203-dependent manner

9 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
autophagosome membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding an autophagosome, a double-membrane-bounded vesicle in which endogenous cellular material is sequestered.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytoplasmic vesicle A vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell.
endoplasmic reticulum membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum.
endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding any of the compartments of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment system.
integral component of membrane The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
mitochondrial outer membrane The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial envelope.
perinuclear region of cytoplasm Cytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

3 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP binding Binding to 2',3' cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) nucleotide, a cyclic purine dinucleotide that consists of AMP and GMP units cyclized via 2',5' and 3',5' linkages.
cyclic-di-GMP binding Binding to cyclic-di-GMP, cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate.
protein homodimerization activity Binding to an identical protein to form a homodimer.

8 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
activation of innate immune response Any process that initiates an innate immune response. Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens. Examples of this process include activation of the hypersensitive response of Arabidopsis thaliana and activation of any NOD or TLR signaling pathway in vertebrate species.
autophagosome assembly The formation of a double membrane-bounded structure, the autophagosome, that occurs when a specialized membrane sac, called the isolation membrane, starts to enclose a portion of the cytoplasm.
defense response to virus Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism.
innate immune response Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
positive regulation of interferon-beta production Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of interferon-beta production.
positive regulation of macroautophagy Any process, such as recognition of nutrient depletion, that activates or increases the rate of macroautophagy to bring cytosolic macromolecules to the vacuole/lysosome for degradation.
positive regulation of type I interferon production Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of type I interferon production. Type I interferons include the interferon-alpha, beta, delta, episilon, zeta, kappa, tau, and omega gene families.
reticulophagy The selective autohagy process in which parts of the endoplasmic reticulum are loaded into autophagosomes, delivered to the vacuole, and degraded in response to changing cellular conditions.
