Aim2-like receptors (ALRs) play crucial roles in innate immune signaling pathways and demonstrate strong positive selection likely driven by pathogens. IFI207, an ALR found in all Mus species, enhances interaction with and stabilization of STING, contributing to the control of Murine Leukemia Virus (MLV) infection. We show here that IFI207 enhances the type 1 interferon response by inhibiting activation-induced K63-linked ubiquitination of STING, thereby preventing its recognition by hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (HRS), a key component of the ESCRT complex, and its subsequent degradation in lysosomes. IFI207 promotes downstream signaling in the STING pathway in multiple cell types and moreover enhances the STING-dependent response to herpesvirus simplex 1 infection ex vivo and in vivo. We also show that IFI207 likely functions in dendritic cells to suppress MLV infection. Our study reveals that IFI207 acts as a modulator in the STING pathway, strengthening the hosts defense against viral infections and suggests that the expansion of the Alr locus in mice may have occurred in response to endemic viruses.
