Interferon regulatory factor 3, also known as IRF3, is an

interferon regulatory factor.[5]

Function

IRF3 is a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family.

CREBBP.[7] The complex translocates into the nucleus for the transcriptional activation of interferons alpha and beta, and further interferon-induced genes.[8]

IRF3 plays an important role in the

MAVS have been found to activate IRF3 dimerization.[10] A 2015 study shows phosphorylation of innate immune adaptor proteins MAVS, STING and TRIF at a conserved pLxIS motif recruits and specifies IRF3 phosphorylation and activation by the Serine/threonine-protein kinase TBK1, thereby activating the production of type-I interferons.[11] Another study has shown that IRF3-/- knockouts protect from myocardial infarction.[12] The same study identified IRF3 and the type I IFN response as a potential therapeutic target for post-myocardial infarction cardioprotection.[12]

Interactions

IRF3 has been shown to

interact with IRF7.[13]
