Descriptions

IRF5 is a transcription factor that plays a critical role in innate immunity by activating expression of type I interferon. A human homolog IRF3 (Q14653) contains a C-terminal region containing phosphorylation sites. Phosphorylation of the sites converts IRF3 into a constitutively active form. The C-terminal autoinhibitory region intramolecularly interact with N-terminal region overlapping with an atypical transactivation domain. Thus, the C-terminal region similar with that of IRF3 may be involved in autoinhibition.

2 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.

2 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific A DNA-binding transcription factor activity that modulates the transcription of specific gene sets transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
transcription cis-regulatory region binding Binding to a specific sequence of DNA that is part of a regulatory region that controls transcription of that section of the DNA. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon.

6 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cytokine-mediated signaling pathway The series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a cytokine to a receptor on the surface of a cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
defense response to virus Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism.
inflammatory response The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages.
innate immune response Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.
positive regulation of type I interferon production Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of type I interferon production. Type I interferons include the interferon-alpha, beta, delta, episilon, zeta, kappa, tau, and omega gene families.
