Figure 2. Structural and functional characterization of native rSTING and rSTING -cGAMP.

Figure 2

(A) Structural alignment of native rSTING and rSTING-cGAMP. The native rSTING (grey) adopts an open conformation compared with the rSTING-cGAMP. The extended loop is shown in light-blue. Each chain of the rSTING-cGAMP is highlighted in a red or yellow color. (B) A close-up view of the rSTING-cGAMP interactions. (C) Luciferase analysis of the extended loop mutants. HEK293T cells were transfected with indicated rSTING mutations and IFN β-Luc reporter plasmids. A luciferase assay was performed after stimulation with 2′3′-cGAMP or 3′3′-cGAMP. (D) The cGAMP binding affinity as measured by ITC.
