Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is an important but not exclusive proinflammatory mediator in macrophages. Here authors show that IFN-γ-independent macrophage autoactivation involves endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress which in turn induces the GTP-binding protein Septin2 to limit inflammation via a negative feedback loop.
