Description

General description

Interferon regulatory factor 1 (UniProt: P10914; also known as IRF-1) is encoded by the IRF1 gene (Gene ID: 3659) in human. IRF-1 is a transcriptional regulator that is expressed constitutively in all cells types except early embryonal cells. It can exist as a monomer and as a homodimer. It displays remarkable functional diversity in the regulation of cellular responses, including the regulation of interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible genes, host response to viral and bacterial infections. It also regulates many genes expressed during hematopoiesis, inflammation, immune responses, cell proliferation and differentiation, and growth arrest and apoptotic cell death following DNA damage. IRF-1 is reported to stimulate p53/TP53-dependent transcription through enhanced recruitment of EP300 leading to increased acetylation of p53/TP53. Its DNA-binging domains are located in the first 115 amino acids of N-terminal region and contains a series of five well-conserved tryptophan-rich repeats. IRF-1 can be phosphorylated by casein kinase 2, which positively regulates its activity. Mutations in IRF1 gene are reported to cause gastric cancer. (Ref.: Dou, L., et al. (2014). Hum. Immunol. 75(11); 1110-1114).
