Distinct oligomeric assemblies of STING induced by non-nucleotide agonists by Anant Gharpure, Ariana Sulpizio, Johannes R. Loeffler, Monica L. Fernández-Quintero, Andy S. Tran, Luke L. Lairson, Andrew B. Ward

“…While we observe a characteristic 180° rotation for both classes, the open-LBD inducing agonist diABZI-3 uniquely induces a quaternary structure reminiscent but distinct from the reported autoinhibited state of apo-STING. Additionally, we observe slower rates of activation for this ligand class in functional assays, which collectively suggests the existence of a potential additional regulatory mechanism for open conformation-inducing ligands that involves head-to-head interactions and restriction of curved oligomer formation. …”
