Regulates the transcription of type I IFN genes (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) and IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) by binding to an interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) in their promoters. Acts as a more potent activator of the IFN-beta (IFNB) gene than the IFN-alpha (IFNA) gene and plays a critical role in both the early and late phases of the IFNA/B gene induction. Found in an inactive form in the cytoplasm of uninfected cells and following viral infection, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), or toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, becomes phosphorylated by IKBKE and TBK1 kinases. This induces a conformational change, leading to its dimerization and nuclear localization and association with CREB binding protein (CREBBP) to form dsRNA-activated factor 1 (DRAF1), a complex which activates the transcription of the type I IFN and ISG genes. Can activate distinct gene expression programs in macrophages and can induce significant apoptosis in primary macrophages. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Transcription factor IRF-3 is post-translationally activated by Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and has critical roles in the regulation of innate immunity. Here we present the X-ray crystal structure of the C-terminal regulatory domain of IRF-3(175-427) (IRF-3 175C) at a resolution of 2.3 A. IRF-3 175C is structurally similar to the Mad homology domain 2 of the Smad family. Structural and functional analyses reveal phosphorylation-induced IRF-3 dimerization, which generates an extensive acidic pocket responsible for binding with p300/CBP. Although TLR and Smad signaling are evolutionarily independent, our results suggest that IRF-3 originates from Smad and acquires its function downstream of TLR.
