| Gene Symbol | IRF8 |
| Gene Full Name | interferon regulatory factor 8 |
| Background | Interferon consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP) is a transcription factor of the interferon (IFN) regulatory factor (IRF) family. Proteins of this family are composed of a conserved DNA-binding domain in the N-terminal region and a divergent C-terminal region that serves as the regulatory domain. The IRF family proteins bind to the IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) and regulate expression of genes stimulated by type I IFNs, namely IFN-alpha and IFN-beta. IRF family proteins also control expression of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta-regulated genes that are induced by viral infection. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I IFN and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)). Plays a negative regulatory role in cells of the immune system. Involved in CD8(+) dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB heterodimer in immune cells, leading to recognition of AICE sequence (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF8 and activation of genes (By similarity).

| Cellular Localization | Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=In resting macrophages, localizes in the cytoplasm. Translocated in the nucleus upon IFN-gamma induction. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 48 kDa |
| PTM | Ubiquitinated (PubMed:25122610). Ubiquitination by TRIM21 in macrophages, a process that is strongly increased upon interferon gamma stimulation, leds to the enhanced transcriptional activity of target cytokine genes (By similarity). Ubiquitination leads to its degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:25122610). Sumoylated with SUMO3. Desumoylated by SENP1. [UniProt] |
