Poxviral Targeting of Interferon Regulatory Factor Activation [PDF]
As viruses have a capacity to rapidly evolve and continually alter the coding of their protein repertoires, host cells have evolved pathways to sense viruses through the one invariable feature common to all these pathogens—their nucleic acids.

Interferon regulatory factor 7 in inflammation, cancer and infection [PDF]
Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), a member of the interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) family, is located downstream of the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)-mediated signaling pathway and is essential for the production of type I interferon (IFN-

Rhadinoviral interferon regulatory factor homologues
Abstract Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is a gammaherpesvirus and the etiological agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman disease. The KSHV genome contains genes for a unique group of proteins with homology to cellular interferon regulatory factors, termed viral ...

Activation and Function of Interferon Regulatory Factor 5
Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a crucial transcription factor in a number of immune and homeostatic processes, including host defense against pathogens, tumorigenesis, and autoimmunity. Upon induction of immune signaling pathways, IRF5 undergoes post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and ubiqutination, which are believed to ...

Influenza A Virus PA Antagonizes Interferon-β by Interacting with Interferon Regulatory Factor 3 [PDF]
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.

A hyperactive mutant of interferon‐regulatory factor 4
We found that deletion of the final 30 amino acids of transcription factor IRF4's (interferon-regulatory factor) C-terminus creates hyperactive IRF4. When introduced into IRF4-deficient CD4+ or CD8+ T cells, more type 17 differentiation was found compared to WT IRF4.

Interferon regulatory factor 4 mediates nonenzymatic IRE1 dependency in multiple myeloma cells. [PDF]
Multiple myeloma (MM) arises through oncogenic transformation of immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells. MM often co-opts the central endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress mitigator, inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), to sustain malignant growth.

Interferons and Interferon Regulatory Factors in Malaria [PDF]
Malaria is one of the most serious infectious diseases in humans and responsible for approximately 500 million clinical cases and 500 thousand deaths annually. Acquired adaptive immune responses control parasite replication and infection-induced pathologies.
