From the Interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-7 is activated
in response to virus infection and stimulates the transcription of a
set of cellular genes involved in host antiviral defense. The mechanism by which IRF-7 is activated and cooperates with other transcription factors is not fully elucidated. Activation of IRF-7 results from a
conformational change triggered by the virus-dependent
phosphorylation of its C terminus. This conformational change leads to
dimerization, nuclear accumulation, DNA-binding, and transcriptional
transactivation. Here we show that activation of IRF-7, like that of
IRF-3, is dependent on modifications of two distinct sets of Ser/Thr
residues. Moreover, we show that different virus-inducible cis-acting
elements display requirements for specific IRFs. In particular, the
virus-responsive element of the ISG15 gene promoter
can be activated by either IRF-3 or IRF-7 alone, whereas the P31
element of the interferon-

gene is robustly activated
only when IRF-3, IRF-7, and the p300/CBP coactivators are all present.
Furthermore, we find that IRF-7 interacts with four distinct regions of
p300/CBP. These interactions not only stimulate the intrinsic
transcriptional activity of IRF-7, but they are also indispensable for
its ability to strongly synergize with other transcription factors,
including c-Jun and IRF-3.
