Abstract

The cGAS-STING pathway mediates the innate immune response to cytosolic DNA, contributing to surveillance against microbial invasion or cellular damage. Once activated, STING recruits TBK1 at the trans-Golgi network (TGN), which in turn phosphorylates IRF3 to induce type I interferon (IFN-I) expression. In contrast to STING, little is known about how TBK1 is transported to the TGN for activation. Here, we show that multiple TGN tethering factors, a group of proteins involved in vesicle capturing, are indispensable for STING-IFN-I signaling. Deletion of TBC1D23, a recently reported tethering factor, in mice impairs the STING-IFN-I signaling, but with insignificant effect on STING-NF-κB signaling. Mechanistically, TBC1D23 interacts with TBK1 via the WASH complex subunit FAM21 and promotes its endosome-to-TGN translocation. Furthermore, multiple TGN tethering factors were reduced in aged mice and senescent fibroblasts. In summary, our study uncovers that TGN tethering factors are key regulators of the STING-IFN-I signaling and suggests that their reduction in senescence may produce aberrant STING signaling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
