The cGAS/STING pathway, part of the innate immune response to foreign DNA, is known to be activated by cells own DNA arising from the processing of the genome, including the excision of nascent DNA at arrested replication forks. We found STING activation to affect nascent DNA processing, suggesting a novel, unexpected feedback connection between the two events. Depletion of STING suppressed and re-expression of the protein in STING-deficient cells upregulated degradation of nascent DNA. Fork arrest was accompanied by the STING pathway activation, and a STING mutant that does not activate the pathway failed to upregulate nascent strand degradation. Consistent with this, cells expressing the STING mutant had a reduced level of RPA on parental and nascent DNA of arrested forks as well as a reduced CHK1 activation compared to the cells with wild type STING. Together our findings reveal a novel connection between replication stress and innate immunity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
