Binds double-stranded DNA. Binds preferentially to supercoiled DNA and cruciform DNA structures. Seems to be involved in transcriptional regulation. May function as a transcriptional repressor. Could have a role in the regulation of hematopoietic differentiation through activation of unknown target genes. Controls cellular proliferation by modulating the functions of cell cycle regulatory factors including p53/TP53 and the retinoblastoma protein. May be involved in TP53-mediated transcriptional activation by enhancing TP53 sequence-specific DNA binding and modulating TP53 phosphorylation status. Seems to be involved in energy-level-dependent activation of the ATM/ AMPK/TP53 pathway coupled to regulation of autophagy. May be involved in regulation of TP53-mediated cell death also involving BRCA1. May be involved in the senescence of prostate epithelial cells. Involved in innate immune response by recognizing viral dsDNA in the cytosol and probably in the nucleus. After binding to viral DNA in the cytoplasm recruits TMEM173/STING and mediates the induction of IFN-beta. Has anti-inflammatory activity and inhibits the activation of the AIM2 inflammasome, probably via association with AIM2. Proposed to bind viral DNA in the nucleus, such as of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, and to induce the formation of nuclear caspase-1-activating inflammasome formation via association with PYCARD. Inhibits replication of herpesviruses such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) probably by interfering with promoter recruitment of members of the Sp1 family of transcription factors. Necessary to activate the IRF3 signaling cascade during human herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1) infection and promotes the assembly of heterochromatin on herpesviral DNA and inhibition of viral immediate-early gene expression and replication. Involved in the MTA1-mediated epigenetic regulation of ESR1 expression in breast cancer. Isoform IFI16-beta. Isoform that specifically inhibits the AIM2 inflammasome (PubMed:30104205). Binds double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the cytoplasm, impeding its detection by AIM2 (PubMed:30104205). Also prevents the interaction between AIM2 and PYCARD/ASC via its interaction with AIM2, thereby inhibiting assembly of the AIM2 inflammasome (PubMed:30104205). This isoform also weakly induce production of type I interferon-beta (IFNB1) via its interaction with STING1 (PubMed:30104205).

The IFI16 protein also known as Interferon γ Inducible Protein 16 is a DNA sensor belonging to the PYHIN family with a molecular mass of approximately 85 kDa. Widely expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm its primary role involves detecting foreign DNA within cells. It possesses a pyrin domain two HIN-200 domains and also plays a role in regulating gene expression particularly in response to pathogen infection. This versatile protein can act in multiple cellular environments and its location within the cell can dictate its function.
IFI16 protein participates in the innate immune response by recognizing viral and bacterial double-stranded DNA. It forms part of a signaling complex that activates pathogen recognition receptors and induces the production of type I interferons. IFI16 can interact with various DNA sensors and is known for its ability to bind DNA directly providing a defense mechanism against infection. The protein also plays a role in the regulation of transcription which contributes to cell growth and differentiation.
IFI16 protein has significant roles in the cGAS-STING and BRCA1 pathways. It interacts with cGAS to regulate the production of cyclic GMP-AMP activating STING and promoting antiviral responses. Additionally IFI16 aligns with BRCA1 dysfunction impacting DNA repair processes. This interaction underlines its involvement in maintaining genomic integrity and modulating the immune responses along with cGAS STING and BRCA1 proteins which are critical in these pathways.
IFI16 protein plays a role in autoimmune diseases and various cancers. In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) it can induce inflammation by recognizing self-DNA leading to chronic immune activation. In certain cancers its expression levels correlate with malignancy where it influences tumor progression and response to therapy. In these contexts IFI16 interacts closely with cGAS and BRCA1 proteins highlighting its relevance to disease mechanisms and offering potential therapeutic targets.
