Phospho IRF-7 (Ser477/Ser479): general introduction Interferon regulatory factor 7, known as IRF-7, belongs to the IRF family and is a key transcription factor that regulates anti-viral defenses by controlling the induction of type-I interferon (IFN) responses in Toll-like receptor pathway. IRF-7 is preferentially expressed in lymphoid cells and induced by virus, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IFNα. In response to infection, IRF-7 is activated by phosphorylation on Serine 477/Serine 479 through the action of Iκκε and TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK-1). Activation of IRF-7 leads to nuclear retention, DNA binding, and activation of IFNα promoters
