Function

Transcription factor that plays an essential role in anti-viral immunity. It mediates signaling by type I IFNs (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta). Following type I IFN binding to cell surface receptors, Jak kinases (TYK2 and JAK1) are activated, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. IRF9/ISGF3G associates with the phosphorylated STAT1:STAT2 dimer to form a complex termed ISGF3 transcription factor, that enters the nucleus. ISGF3 binds to the IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) to activate the transcription of interferon stimulated genes, which drive the cell in an antiviral state.

Activity summary

Interferon regulatory factor 9 (IRF-9) also known as ISGF3-γ is a critical component in the transcriptional regulation of interferon-stimulated genes. This protein with a mass of approximately 48 kDa serves as an important mediator in the interferon signaling pathway. IRF-9 is widely expressed in various tissues where it functions as part of the immune response to pathogens. Its expression can be induced by interferons signaling molecules involved in antiviral defense.

Biological function summary

IRF-9 participates in the assembly of the transcription factor complex ISGF3 alongside STAT1 and STAT2. This complex translocates into the nucleus to initiate the transcription of interferon-stimulated genes that promote antiviral states. IRF-9 through this functional role impacts a range of cellular responses including proliferation apoptosis and immune regulation. It affects the temporal and spatial aspects of gene expression in response to interferons.

Pathways

IRF-9 plays a significant role in both the Jak-STAT and interferon signaling pathways. These pathways are essential for the activation of genes involved in immune defense. Through its involvement in these pathways IRF-9 interacts with proteins such as STAT1 and STAT2 creating a bridge between extracellular signals and gene activation. This involvement ensures that cells can respond effectively to viral infections enhancing innate and adaptive immune responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

IRF-9 has been implicated in autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. Dysfunction in the IRF-9 associated pathways can lead to conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus where inefficient regulation of immune responses occurs. In cancer altered IRF-9 expression can contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation. These connections highlight the importance of IRF-9 in maintaining cellular homeostasis and immune integrity. IRF-9's interaction with STAT proteins and interferon pathways highlights its central role in these disease processes.
