Summary
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 (STING) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) receptor that facilitates interferon (IFN) induction by binding to DDX58 (RIG-I) and to subunits of TRAP complex that facilitates translocation of proteins into the ER following translation.
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 is a critical mediator of virus-triggered type I IFN signalling and a critical mediator of virus-triggered IRF3 activation.
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 is essential for host defence against DNA pathogens such as HSV-1 and facilitates the adjuvant activity of DNA-based vaccines.
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 is an adaptor protein that links virus-sensing receptors to IRF3 activation. RNF5 negatively regulates this virus-triggered signaling by targeting TMEM173 for ubiquitination and degradation at the mitochondria.
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 is required for double stranded DNA-triggered innate immune responses where, upon sensing dsDNA, TMEM173 moves from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus and finally reaches the cytoplasmic punctate structures to assemble with TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1).
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 is involved in the innate immune recognition of Plasmodium falciparum AT-rich DNA and in the subsequent induction of type I IFNs. (Demonstrated in mouse)
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 activates STAT6 during viral infection to induce genes responsible for immune cell homing. (Demonstrated in mice)
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 is cleaved by dengue viral protease to suppress IRF3 activation and subvert antiviral immunity.
[Homo sapiens] Dengue viral NS2B3 protease complex selectively targets TMEM173 (STING) for degradation to inhibit type I IFN production in human dendritic cells.
[Homo sapiens] TMEM173 (STING) is targeted by hepatitis C viral protease to disrupt interferon signalling.
[Homo sapiens] Cyclic-di-GMP-induced levels of IFI16 suppress the expression of TMEM173 (STING).
[Homo sapiens] In herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infected cells, the stability and function of IFI16 and TMEM173 are dependent on cell derivation and the functional integrity of HSV-1 proteins ICP0 and US3 protein kinase.
[Homo sapiens] After viral infection, ELF4 binds to TMEM173 (STING) and induces type I interferon. ELF4 is critical for host antiviral defense.
[Homo sapiens] The end result of the interplay between TMEM173 (STING), IFI16, and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is determined by the genotype of the infected cells and the functional integrity of HSV-1 proteins infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) and US3 protein kinase.
[Homo sapiens] Familial TMEM173 mutation is associated with inflammatory lupus-like manifestations.
[Homo sapiens] Cytosolic RNA:DNA hybrids are sensed by the MB21D1-TMEM173 (cGAS-STING) pathway of the innate immune system.
[Homo sapiens] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase inhibits TMEM173-stimulated IRF3 activation and IFNB1 induction.
[Homo sapiens] Upon cytoplasmic DNA stimulation, the endoplasmic reticulum protein AMFR is recruited to and interacts with TMEM173 in an INSIG1-dependent manner.
[Homo sapiens] Stimulation of TMEM173-dependent IRF3 activation by ultraviolet radiation is due to apoptotic signalling-dependent disruption of ULK1, a pro-autophagic protein that negatively regulates TMEM173.
[Homo sapiens] 4-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)-N-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazine-6-carboxamide (G10) requires STING to trigger IRF3/IFN-associated transcription in human fibroblasts and subsequently blocking replication of Chikungunya virus, Venezuelan Encephalitis virus, and Sindbis virus.
[Homo sapiens] Viral interferon regulatory factor 1 (vIRF1), targets TMEM173 by preventing it from interacting with TBK1, thereby inhibiting TMEM173's phosphorylation and concomitant activation, resulting in an inhibition of the DNA sensing pathway.
[Mus musculus] Tmem173 is involved in the innate immune recognition of Plasmodium falciparum AT-rich DNA and in the subsequent induction of type I IFNs.
[Mus musculus] Tmem173 activates Stat6 during viral infection to induce genes responsible for immune cell homing.
[Mus musculus] Dengue viral NS2B3 protease complex cannot degrade murine TMEM173, which confers protection against the viral infection.
[Mus musculus] Cyclic dinucleotides initiate the production of Tmem173(STING)-dependent proinflammatory genes and a negative-feedback to prevent sustained production that may otherwise lead to inflammation.
[Mus musculus] Cyclic-di-GMP-induced levels of Ifi202b suppress the expression of Tmem173 (STING).
[Mus musculus] The innate immune system plays a role in immunogenic tumour recognition. Tumor-cell-derived DNA triggers Ifnb1 production and dendritic cell activation via Tmem173 and Irf3 cytosolic DNA sensing pathways.
[Mus musculus] Unrepaired DNA lesions induce type I interferons via the Tmem173 pathway, resulting in enhanced anti-viral and anti-bacterial responses in Atm (-/-) mice.
[Mus musculus] Tmem173-deficient macrophages fail to express negative regulators of immune activation and are hyperresponsive to TLR ligands, producing abnormally high levels of proinflammatory cytokines.
[Mus musculus] Aberrant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) packaging promotes escape of mtDNA into the cytosol, where it engages the DNA sensor Mb21d1 and promotes Tmem173-Irf3-dependent signalling to elevate IFN-stimulated gene expression, potentiate type I IFN responses and confer broad viral resistance.
[Mus musculus] DNA vaccine-induced, Irf7-dependent signalling, as part of the Tmem173 (Sting) pathway, is critical for generation of both innate cytokine signalling and antigen-specific B and T cell responses.
[Mus musculus] The cationic polymer and vaccine adjuvant chitosan can engage the Tmem173/Mb21d1 (STING/cGAS) pathway to trigger innate and adaptive immune responses.
