Abstract
Mammalian cells react to the accumulation of double-stranded (ds)DNA in the cytosol by secreting antiviral and proinflammatory cytokines, notably type I interferon (IFN). Recent data reported by Tani et al. demonstrate that overactivation of this pathway is prevented by an adaptive feedback mechanism elicited by type I IFN receptors and executed by the exonuclease three prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1).
