First Study on Interferon Regulatory Factor in Sturgeon: Expression Pattern of Interferon Regulatory Factor in Dabry's Sturgeon Acipenser dabryanus

Cloning and sequencing of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) interferon regulatory factor 7

  Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) gene was cloned from a subtractive cDNA library constructed with mRNAs obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophage cell line (RTS-11). Using expressed sequence tag clones of submitted IRF7 amino acid sequences, specific primers were designed. Results showed that IRF7 cDNA contains an ORF of 1251 nucleotides that translates into a 416 resi...

IRF4 (interferon regulatory factor 4)

Other names: IRF-4; NF-EM5; LSIRF (lymphocytespecific interferon regulatory factor); MUM1 (multiple myeloma oncogene 1) HGNC (Hugo): IRF4 Location: 6p25.3 Local order: IRF4 is located on chromosome 6 at the telomeric extremity of the short arm, and lies between the DUSP22 (dual specificity phosphatase 22) and EXOC2 (exocyst complex component 2) genes. Note: IRF4 belongs to the IRF (interferon r...

Interferon regulatory factor signalings in cardiometabolic diseases.

Ectopic expression of interferon regulatory factor-1 potentiates granulocytic differentiation.

Numerous transcription factors allow haematopoietic cells to respond to lineage- and stage-specific cytokines and to act as their effectors. It is increasingly evident that the interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) transcription factor can selectively regulate different sets of genes depending on the cell type and/or the nature of cellular stimuli, evoking distinct responses in each. In the pr...

Interferon regulatory factor 6 regulates keratinocyte migration.

Interferon regulatory factor 6 (Irf6) regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that Irf6 regulates cellular migration and adhesion. Irf6-deficient embryos at 10.5 days post-conception failed to close their wound compared with wild-type embryos. In vitro, Irf6-deficient murine embryonic keratinocytes were delayed in closing a scratch wound...
