Homeostatic cGAS activity drives STING trafficking that supports the basal level of immune defense and maintains a healthy state. cGas−/− cells and mice have lowered basal immune defense, leading to infection risk. Interruption of STING post-Golgi trafficking by Gcc2−/− and Rab14−/− leads to tonic IFN activation, increased autoimmunity and anti-tumor immunity.
