X-ray crystal structure of IRF-3 and its functional implications
Overview
Transcription factor IRF-3 is post-translationally activated by Toll-like, receptor (TLR) signaling and has critical roles in the regulation of, innate immunity. Here we present the X-ray crystal structure of the, C-terminal regulatory domain of IRF-3(175-427) (IRF-3 175C) at a, resolution of 2.3 A. IRF-3 175C is structurally similar to the Mad, homology domain 2 of the Smad family. Structural and functional analyses, reveal phosphorylation-induced IRF-3 dimerization, which generates an, extensive acidic pocket responsible for binding with p300/CBP. Although, TLR and Smad signaling are evolutionarily independent, our results suggest, that IRF-3 originates from Smad and acquires its function downstream of, TLR.
