摘要

The cGAS-STING pathway is a critical regulator of type I Interferon (IFN) and inflammation upon cytosolic DNA-sensing. cGAS-STING signaling termination is regulated by lysosomal-mediated degradation of STING; however, the mechanisms controlling the inhibitory targeting of STING are incompletely understood. Here, we identify the selective autophagy receptor TAX1BP1 as a negative regulator of the cGAS-STING pathway. TAX1BP1-deficient macrophages activated by cGAS or STING agonists accumulate higher-order STING aggregates, exhibit heightened STING signaling, and increased production of type I IFN and proinflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, TAX1BP1 promotes STING degradation through microautophagy by facilitating the interaction of STING with the ESCRT-0 protein HGS. Furthermore, STING activation is associated with the swelling and fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus, and TAX1BP1 and p62/SQSTM1 are essential for the autophagic degradation of fragmented Golgi (Golgiphagy). Our findings suggest that STING activation at the Golgi is coupled to its downregulation by Golgiphagy to restrict innate immune responses.
