Summary
IFIT1 expression activates the IFN response during C. pneumoniae infection, mediated by intracellular nucleotide-sensing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which operate through a mechanism dependent on the bacterial type III secretion system (T3SS).
IFIT1 recognizes and directly binds to 5'-triphosphate RNA and functions as an innate inhibitor of viral replication and pathogenicity. (Demonstrated in murine model)
IFIT1 is an innate immune network bottleneck with the ability to suppress induction of TLR4 response genes in LPS-stimulated macrophages. (Demonstrated in mice)
IFIT1 binds mRNAs that lack 2â?²O methylation on the first ribose, thus inhibiting translation by impairing binding of eukaryotic translation initiation factors to 2â?²O-unmethylated RNA templates
IFIT1 binds with high affinity to the cap-proximal regions of cap0-mRNAs abrogating 48S complex formation in an in vitro reconstituted translation system.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeats that was originally identified as induced upon treatment with interferon. The encoded protein may inhibit viral replication and translational initiation. This gene is located in a cluster on chromosome 10 with five other closely related genes. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 13. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
