The helicase DDX41 recognizes the bacterial secondary messengers cyclic di-GMP and cyclic di-AMP to activate a type I interferon immune response

Abstract

Activation of type I interferon by c-di-GMP and c-di-AMP depends on the adaptor STING. Cheng and colleagues show that these bacterial secondary messengers are detected by the helicase DDX41, which forms a complex with STING.
