Interferon regulatory factor 3, also known as IRF3, is an interferon regulatory factor.[1]

Function

IRF3 is a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family.[1] IRF3 was originally discovered as a homolog of IRF1 and IRF2. IRF3 has been further characterized and shown to contain several functional domains including a nuclear export signal, a DNA-binding domain, a C-terminal IRF association domain and several regulatory phosphorylation sites.[2] IRF3 is found in an inactive cytoplasmic form that upon serine/threonine phosphorylation forms a complex with CREBBP.[3] This complex translocates to the nucleus and activates the transcription of interferons alpha and beta, as well as other interferon-induced genes.[4]

IRF3 plays an important role in the innate immune system's response to viral infection.[5] Aggregated MAVS have been found to activate IRF3 dimerization.[6] A recent study shows phosphorylation of innate immune adaptor proteins MAVS, STING and TRIF at a conserved pLxIS motif recruits and specifies IRF3 phosphorylation and activation by the Serine/threonine-protein kinase TBK1, thereby restricts the production of type-I interferons.[7] Another study has shown that IRF3-/- knockouts protect from myocardial infarction.[8] The same study identified IRF3 and the type I IFN response as a potential therapeutic target for post-myocardial infarction cardioprotection.[8]

IRF3 has been shown to interact with IRF7.[9]
