Abstract

STING is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) signaling adaptor that is essential for the type I Interferon response to DNA pathogens. Aberrant activation of STING is linked to the pathology of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. The rate-limiting step for the activation of STING is its translocation from the ER to the ER–Golgi intermediate compartment. Here we found that deficiency in the Ca2+ 36 sensor STIM1 caused spontaneous activation of STING and enhanced expression of type I interferons under resting conditions in mice and a patient suffering from combined immunodeficiency. Mechanistically, STIM1 associated with STING to retain it in the ER membrane, and co-expression of full-length or a STING-interacting fragment of STIM1 suppressed the function of dominant STING mutants that cause autoinflammatory diseases. Furthermore, deficiency in STIM1 strongly enhanced the expression of type I interferons after viral infection and prevented the lethality of infection with a DNA virus in vivo. This work delineates a STIM1–STING circuit that maintains the resting state of the STING pathway.
