Initiation, Response, and Feedback(IRF) sequences are the most frequent interaction network in any classroom contexts. IRF sequences have been examined profusely in previous studies and were reported to be negatively correlated with participation opportunities (Kasper, 2006; Cazden, 2001; Ellis, 1994).In all these studies, all contingent factors of any classroom context which might influence in...
IFN regulatory factor-4 (IRF-4) is a transcription factor that is involved in the development and the functions of lymphocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells. Despite their critical roles in immune system regulation, the target genes controlled by IRF-4 are poorly understood. In this study, we determined the consensus DNA-binding sequences preferred for IRF-4 by in vitro binding site selectio...
Interferon (IFN) regulatory factors (IRFs) are a family of transcription factors among which are IRF-1, IRF-2, and IFN consensus sequence binding protein (ICSBP). These factors share sequence homology in the N-terminal DNA-binding domain. IRF-1 and IRF-2 are further related and have additional homologous sequences within their C-termini. Whereas IRF-2 and ICSBP are identified as transcriptional...
The rapid induction of alpha interferon (IFN) and IFNexpression plays a critical role in the innate immune response against viral infection. We studied the effects of transforming growth factor (TGF) and its intracellular effectors, the Smads, on the function of IRF-7, an essential transcription factor for IFNand induction. IRF-7 interacted with Smads, and IRF-7, but not IRF-3, cooperated with ...
The rapid induction of alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) and IFN-beta expression plays a critical role in the innate immune response against viral infection. We studied the effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and its intracellular effectors, the Smads, on the function of IRF-7, an essential transcription factor for IFN-alpha and -beta induction. IRF-7 interacted with Smads, and IRF...
Transcription factors are proteins that bind to DNA sequences to regulate gene transcription. The transcription factor binding sites are short DNA sequences (5-20 bp long) specifically bound by one or more transcription factors. The identification of transcription factor binding sites and prediction of their function continue to be challenging problems in computational biology. In this study, b...
Intestinal epithelial cell-derived interleukin (IL)-7 functions as a pleiotropic and nonredundant cytokine in the human intestinal mucosa; however, the molecular basis of its production has remained totally unknown. We here showed that human intestinal epithelial cells both constitutively and when induced by gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) produced IL-7, while several other factors we tested had n...
The interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF-3) is activated by phosphorylation of Ser/Thr residues clustered in its C-terminal domain. Phosphorylation of these residues, which increases the negative charge of IRF-3, results in its dimerization and association with DNA, despite the increase in repulsive electrostatic interactions. To investigate this surprising effect, the dimerization o...
Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) belongs to a family of evolutionary conserved innate immune recognition molecules and recognizes double-stranded RNA, a molecular pattern associated with viral infections. Earlier studies suggested a differential expression pattern in men and mice; the molecular basis for this observation, however, was unknown. Here we demonstrate that species-specific differences in...
