Title: Insights into the Interferon Regulatory Factor Activation from the Crystal Structure of Dimeric IRF5

Journal Article · · Nature Structural and Molecular Biology
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1038/nsmb.1496· OSTI ID:980275

The interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are involved in the innate immune response and are activated by phosphorylation. The structure of a pseudophosphorylated IRF5 activation domain now reveals structural changes in the activated form that would turn an autoinhibitory region into a dimerization interface. In vivo analysis supports the relevance of such a dimer to transcriptional activation.
