Function
Key transcriptional regulator of type I interferon (IFN)-dependent immune responses and plays a critical role in the innate immune response against DNA and RNA viruses. Regulates the transcription of type I IFN genes (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) and IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) by binding to an interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) in their promoters (PubMed:17574024, PubMed:32972995). Can efficiently activate both the IFN-beta (IFNB) and the IFN-alpha (IFNA) genes and mediate their induction via both the virus-activated, MyD88-independent pathway and the TLR-activated, MyD88-dependent pathway. Induces transcription of ubiquitin hydrolase USP25 mRNA in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or viral infection in a type I IFN-dependent manner (By similarity). Required during both the early and late phases of the IFN gene induction but is more critical for the late than for the early phase. Exists in an inactive form in the cytoplasm of uninfected cells and following viral infection, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), or toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, becomes phosphorylated by IKBKE and TBK1 kinases. This induces a conformational change, leading to its dimerization and nuclear localization where along with other coactivators it can activate transcription of the type I IFN and ISG genes. Can also play a role in regulating adaptive immune responses by inducing PSMB9/LMP2 expression, either directly or through induction of IRF1. Binds to the Q promoter (Qp) of EBV nuclear antigen 1 a (EBNA1) and may play a role in the regulation of EBV latency. Can activate distinct gene expression programs in macrophages and regulate the anti-tumor properties of primary macrophages (By similarity) (PubMed:11073981, PubMed:12374802, PubMed:15361868, PubMed:17404045).

Supplementary info

- Activity summary
The transcription factor IRF7 also known as Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 plays a significant role in the regulation of type I interferon genes. This protein acts as an important modulator of the immune response specifically during viral infections. The molecular weight of IRF7 is approximately 54 kDa. It is predominantly expressed in lymphoid tissues such as the spleen and thymus and is also found in other immune cells like B cells and dendritic cells. The expression of IRF7 is induced by pathogen-associated molecular patterns which stimulate the activation of immune signaling pathways.
- Biological function summary
IRF7 activates and modulates the expression of type I interferons and other cytokines important for antiviral defense. This protein can form part of a larger complex with other IRF family members to enhance its effect on gene transcription. IRF7 operates through its interaction with transcriptional coactivators allowing it to execute its function as a transcriptional activator reinforcing the immune system's response to infectious agents.
- Pathways
IRF7 plays a critical role in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway and retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) pathway. It directly interacts with MyD88 and IRAK1 proteins linking it to signal transduction pathways that lead to interferon-beta production. The activation of IRF7 in these pathways also strengthens the body's defense mechanism by enhancing the transcription of antiviral genes forming a robust antibacterial and antiviral environment within the host.
- Associated diseases and disorders
IRF7's function is implicated in autoimmune diseases and specific cancers. For autoimmune conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) dysregulated IRF7 activity is observed leading to an aberrant interferon response. It connects with proteins such as IRF5 which has its expressions elevated in affected patients. In relation to cancer IRF7 can impact tumor progression particularly in breast cancer through modulation of immune surveillance functions. Its interaction with interferon pathways becomes a double-edged sword affecting tumor immunity and progression.
