InnateDB Annotation
Summary
IRF5 is activated by both TBK1 and MYD88 to form a homodimer that binds to and activates transcription of type I interferon and inflammatory cytokine genes.
IRF5 can act as both an activator and a repressor of interferon (IFN) gene induction dependent on the IRF-interacting partner, and may be a part of the regulatory network that ensures timely expression of the immediate early inflammatory genes.
Phosphorylation of IRF5 at ser451 and ser462 is the primary trigger of IRF5 function in nuclear accumulation, transcription and apoptosis.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Phosphorylation of Irf5 at ser451 and ser462 is the primary trigger of Irf5 function in nuclear accumulation, transcription and apoptosis. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Irf5 modulates West Nile virus pathogenesis and host immune responses by shaping the early pro-inflammatory cytokine response in the draining lymph node.
[Mus musculus] Traf2 mediates proteasome-dependent degradation of Irf5 and Rel as well as regulating macrophage polarization in tumour microenvironment and controlling tumour growth.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a member of the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family, a group of transcription factors with diverse roles, including virus-mediated activation of interferon, and modulation of cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune system activity. Members of the IRF family are characterized by a conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain containing tryptophan (W) repeats. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and a 30-nt indel polymorphism (SNP rs60344245) can result in loss of a 10-aa segment.
