Human DNA-PK activates a STING-independent DNA sensing pathway
3 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Detection of intracellular DNA by the cGAS-STING pathway activates a type I interferon-mediated innate immune response that protects from virus infection. Whether there are additional DNA sensing pathways, and how such pathways might function, remains controversial. We show here that humans-but not laboratory mice-have a second, potent, STING-independent DNA sensing pathway (SIDSP). We identify human...
