Interferon Regulatory Factors IRF1 and IRF7 Directly Regulate Gene Expression in Bats in Response to Viral Infection

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Bat cells and tissue have elevated basal expression levels of antiviral genes commonly associated with interferon alpha (IFNα) signaling. Here, we show Interferon Regulatory Factor 1 (IRF1), 3, and 7 levels are elevated in most bat tissues and ...

Of Mice and Men and Cattle: Functions of the Pneumovirus Nonstructural Proteins NS1 and NS2 in Interferon Escape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), family Paramyxoviridae, subfamily Pneumovirinae, is a major etiological agent of respiratory tract disease in calves. A peculiarity of pneumoviruses is the presence of two unique nonstructural protein genes, NS1

Inducible Processing of Interferon Regulatory Factor-2 [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 1992
PRDI-BFc and PRDI-BFi are proteins that bind specifically to a regulatory element required for virus induction of the human beta interferon (IFN-beta). PRDI-BFc is a constitutive binding activity, while the PRDI-BFi binding activity is observed only after cells are treated with inducers such as virus or poly(I).poly(C) plus cycloheximide or in some ...

The Combination of IFN β and TNF Induces an Antiviral and Immunoregulatory Program via Non-Canonical Pathways Involving STAT2 and IRF9

open access: yesCells, 2019
Interferon (IFN) β and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) are key players in immunity against viruses. Compelling evidence has shown that the antiviral and inflammatory transcriptional response induced by IFNβ is reprogrammed by crosstalk with TNF ...

Transcription factor IRF1 is responsible for IRF8-mediated IL-1β expression in reactive microglia

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2015
Interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF8) plays a crucial role in the transformation of microglia to a reactive state by regulating the expression of various genes.

Rotavirus Antagonism of the Innate Immune Response

open access: yesViruses, 2009
Rotavirus is a primary cause of severe dehydrating gastroenteritis in infants and young children. The virus is sensitive to the antiviral effects triggered by the interferon (IFN)-signaling pathway, an important component of the host cell innate immune ...

Structural insights into interferon regulatory factor activation [PDF]

open access: yesCellular Signalling, 2010
The interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) play important roles in development of the immune system and host defense. Recent crystallographic and biochemical studies have provided insights into the mechanism of activation of IRFs by phosphorylation. The activation of a latent closed conformation of IRF in the cytoplasm is triggered by phosphorylation of ...

The systemic lupus erythematosus IRF5 risk haplotype is associated with systemic sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a fibrotic autoimmune disease in which the genetic component plays an important role. One of the strongest SSc association signals outside the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region corresponds to interferon (IFN) regulatory ...

Interferon regulatory factors in human lupus pathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Research, 2011
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe multisystem autoimmune disease that results from both genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Many lines of investigation support interferon alpha (IFN-α) as a causal agent in human lupus, and high levels of serum IFN-α are a heritable risk factor for SLE. Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are
