Background: IRF5

IRF5 is a member of the IRF family of transcription factors, a family characterized by a helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain enriched in tryptophan repeats. IRF family members show diverse cellular regulation of interferon-stimulated gene transcription, viral-mediated gene activation, apoptosis, differentiation, and cellular growth. IRF5, along with IRF7, are the key mediators of TLR signaling. IRF5 forms heterodimers with IRF3 both of which are necessary for interferon gene transcription. IRF5 knock out mice indicate that IRF5 is critical for induction of apoptosis.
