abstract = {Tight control of cGAS-STING-mediated DNA sensing is crucial
to avoid auto-inflammation. The GTPase ADP-ribosylation
factor 1 (ARF1) is crucial to maintain cGAS-STING
homeostasis and various pathogenic ARF1 variants are
associated with type I interferonopathies. Functional ARF1
inhibits STING activity by maintaining mitochondrial
integrity and facilitating COPI-mediated retrograde STING
trafficking and deactivation. Yet the factors governing the
two distinct functions of ARF1 remained unexplored. Here, we
dissect ARF1's dual role by a comparative analysis of
disease-associated ARF1 variants and their impact on STING
signalling. We identify a de novo heterozygous s.55 C >
T/p.R19C ARF1 variant in a patient with type I
interferonopathy symptoms. The GTPase-deficient variant ARF1
R19C selectively disrupts COPI binding and retrograde
transport of STING, thereby prolonging innate immune
activation without affecting mitochondrial integrity.
Treatment of patient fibroblasts in vitro with the STING
signalling inhibitors H-151 and amlexanox reduces chronic
interferon signalling. Summarizing, our data reveal the
molecular basis of a ARF1-associated type I interferonopathy
allowing dissection of the two roles of ARF1, and suggest
that pharmacological targeting of STING may alleviate
ARF1-associated auto-inflammation.},
