Abstract
The Ca2+ sensor STIM1 is essential for adaptive immune responses, yet patients with hypomorphic STIM1 mutations develop both immunodeficiency and autoimmunity, implying that STIM1 also restrains immune responses. This study by Srikanth et al demonstrates that STIM1 tethers STING, a major inducer of the interferon (IFN) response, to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to prevent constitutive STING activation.
