Popis: The transcription factor IRF8 has been shown to regulate monocyte differentiation via its DNA-binding activity. Here authors show that IRF8 is also involved in cytosolic DNA sensing via its phosphorylation-dependent association to the adaptor protein STING, thus representing an important checkpoint between immune response and autoimmunity in monocytes.
