Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) provides insect antiviral immunity by promoting Dredd caspase–mediated NF-κB activation
6 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
The antiviral cGMP–AMP (cGAMP)–stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is well characterized in mammalian cells. However, whether this pathway also plays a role in insect antiviral immunity is unknown. In this study, we found that cGAMP is produced in silkworm ( Bombyx mori ) cells infected with nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV). In searches for STING-related sequences, we identified BmSTING , a potential cGAMP...
