Transcription factors of the interferon
regulatory factor (IRF) family have been identified as critical
mediators of early inflammatory gene transcription in infected cells.
We have shown previously that IRF-5, like IRF-3 and IRF-7, is a
direct transducer of virus-mediated signaling and plays a role in the
expression of multiple cytokines/chemokines. The present study is
focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation and
function of IRF-5/IRF-7 heterodimers in infected cells. The interaction between IRF-5 and IRF-7 is not cooperative and results in a repression rather than enhancement of IFNA gene transcription. The
formation of the IRF-5/IRF-7 heterodimer is dependent on IRF-7
phosphorylation, as shown by the glutathione S-transferase
pull-down and immunoprecipitation assays. Mapping of the interaction
domain revealed that formation of IRF-5/IRF-7 heterodimers occurs
through the amino terminus resulting in a masking of the DNA binding
domain, the consequent alteration of the composition of the
enhanceosome complex binding to IFNA promoters in
vivo, and modulation of the expression profile of
IFNA subtypes. Thus, these results indicate that
IRF-5 can act as both an activator and a repressor of
IFN gene induction dependent on the IRF-interacting
partner, and IRF-5 may be a part of the regulatory network
that ensures timely expression of the immediate early inflammatory genes.
