High impact information on Irf4

 

Biological context of Irf4

 

Anatomical context of Irf4

 

Associations of Irf4 with chemical compounds

  • On the basis of the hydroxyl radical footprints in the ternary PU.1/IRF4/lambdaB complex, a model for the interactions between the two proteins and the lambdaB site was developed [12].
 

Physical interactions of Irf4

  • Crystal structure of PU.1/IRF-4/DNA ternary complex [13].
  • DNA microarray analyses enabled us to identify two genes inhibited by v-Abl that encode the Igk 3' enhancer-binding transcription factors Spi-B and IRF-4 [14].
 

Regulatory relationships of Irf4

 

Other interactions of Irf4

  • We report here the structure of the ternary complex formed with the DNA binding domains of PU.1 and IRF-4 on a composite DNA element [13].
  • These data indicate the critical role of NF kappa B and Irf4 in the regulation of IgE CSR through actions downstream of CpG signaling [11].
  • In vitro, activation of IRF4(-/-) CD4(+) Th cells led to greatly increased apoptosis compared with wild-type cells [2].
  • Nine IRFs have been described and they are expressed in a variety of cells, except for ICSBP and LSIRF/Pip, which are thought to be expressed exclusively in immune cells [16].
  • Plasma cell differentiation required IRF4 as well as the transcriptional repressor Blimp-1, which both acted 'upstream' of the transcription factor XBP-1 [10].
