Target

  • Function

    Specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I IFN and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)) and represses those genes. Also acts as an activator for several genes including H4 and IL7. Constitutively binds to the ISRE promoter to activate IL7. Involved in cell cycle regulation through binding the site II (HiNF-M) promoter region of H4 and activating transcription during cell growth. Antagonizes IRF1 transcriptional activation.

  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed throughout the epithelium of the colon. Also expressed in lamina propria.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the IRF family.
    Contains 1 IRF tryptophan pentad repeat DNA-binding domain.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Acetylated by CBP/ p300 during cell-growth. Acetylation on Lys-75 is required for stimulation of H4 promoter activity.
    The major sites of sumoylation are Lys-137 and Lys-293. Sumoylation by SUMO1 increases its transcriptional repressor activity on IRF1 and diminishes its ability to activate ISRE and H4 promoter.

      ab124744 was shown to recognize IRF2 when IRF2 knockout samples were used, along with additional cross-reactive bands. Wild-type and IRF2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE.  Ab124744 and ab18058 (Mouse anti Vinculin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 and 1/10000 dilutions respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) ab216773 and 680CW Goat anti Mouse secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
