Primary activation of interferon A and interferon B gene transcription by interferon regulatory factor 3.
The family of interferon (IFN) regulatory factors (IRFs) encodes DNA-binding transcription factors, some of which function as modulators of virus-induced signaling. The IRF-3 gene is constitutively expressed in many tissues and cell types, and neither virus infection nor IFN treatment enhances its transcription. In infected cells, however, IRF-3 protein is phosphorylated at the carboxyl terminu...
متن کاملActivation of IL-27 p28 gene transcription by interferon regulatory factor 8 in cooperation with interferon regulatory factor 1.
Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family members, especially interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) and interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF-8 or ICSBP), play important roles in interferon signaling in a wide range of host responses to infection and tumor growth. Interleukin-27 (IL-27), as a member of the IL-12 cytokine family, not only acts as a proinflammatory cytokine that regulates the diff...
متن کاملp38-dependent activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 by lipopolysaccharide.
Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) is known to participate in the transcriptional induction of interferon (IFN) alpha and IFNbeta genes, as well as of a number of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), as a result of viral infection. In the present study we demonstrate the activation of IRF3 followed by ISG induction after exposure of cells to the bacterial cell wall component lipopolysaccharid...
متن کاملDNA binding and transcription activation by chicken interferon regulatory factor-3 (chIRF-3).
Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are a family of transcription factors involved in the cellular response to interferons and viral infection. Previously we isolated an IRF from a chicken embryonic liver cDNA library. Using a PCR-based binding site selection assay, we have characterised the binding specificity of chIRF-3. The optimal binding site (OBS) fits within the consensus interferon-sti...
متن کاملInfluenza A Virus PA Antagonizes Interferon-β by Interacting with Interferon Regulatory Factor 3
The influenza A virus (IAV) can be recognized by retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) to activate the type I interferon response and induce antiviral effects. The virus has evolved several strategies to evade the innate immune response, including non-structural protein 1 (NS1) and its polymerase subunits. The mechanism by which NS1 inhibits interferon-β (IFN-β) is well understood, whereas the...
