Gene Information

human ... IRF3(3661)

General description

Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) comprise a family of transcription factors that function with the Jak/Stat pathway to regulate interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible gene expression in response to viral infection. IRF-3 can inhibit cell growth and plays a critical role in controlling the expression of genes in the innate immune response. In unstimulated cells, IRF-3 is present in the cytoplasm. Viral infection results in phosphorylation of IRF-3 and leads to its translocation to the nucleus where it activates promoters containing IRF-3-binding sites. Phosphorylation of IRF-3 occurs at a cluster of C-terminal serine and threonine residues (between 385 and 405) leading to its association with the p300/CBP coactivator protein that promotes DNA binding and transcriptional activity.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to human IRF3.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected IRF3 in HeLa, A-431, HepG2, and NIH/3T3 cells. DyLight 488 is a registered trademark of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipitated IRF3 in HEC1B cells treated or untreated with virus and M059J DNA-PK - and M059J cells with DNA-PK+ (Karpova, A.Y., et al. (2002). PNAS. 99(5):2818-2823).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected IRF3 in HFK (human foreskin keratinocytes) cells expressing BPV ORF′s (Ronco, L.V., et al. (1998) Genes Dev. 12:2061-2072).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected IRF3 in Transfected Mock and SeV infected 293 cells (Basler, C.F., et al. (2003) Journal of Virology. 77(14):7945-7956).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected IRF3 in hec-1b cells infected with delNS1 or PR8 (Talon. J., et al. (2000). Journal of Virology. 74(17):7989-7996).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected IRF3 in HEC1B cells treated or untreated with virus (Karpova, A.Y., et al. (2002). PNAS. 99(5):2818-2823).

We present a novel mechanism by which viruses may inhibit the alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) cascade. The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein NS1 of influenza virus is shown to prevent the potent antiviral interferon response by inhibiting the activation of interferon
