Involvement of TIRAP/MAL in signaling for the activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 by lipopolysaccharide

Abstract: Infections of bacteria and viruses induce host defense reactions known as innate responses that include the production of cytokines and chemokines. The production of type I interferon (IFN) is known to be induced by viral double-stranded (ds) RNA or bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Although important functions for the transcription factors NF-U UB and interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3) are indicated, the molecular signals leading to the activation of IFN genes have yet to be elucidated. We provide sever… Show more

“…Although 293 cells require ectopic expression of TLR3 to respond to dsRNA (38), viral infection can abrogate the requirement of TLR3 to generate IRF-3 holocomplex, 2 suggesting that viral infection may activate multiple pathways and poly(I⅐C) partly mimics it. Although different signals are triggered by different inducers, the signal is integrated at downstream resulting in the formation of IRF-3 holocomplex (27,40). The activation of the holocomplex does not require de novo protein synthesis but is a result of multiple protein-protein interactions and specific phosphorylations, and possibly acetylation, enabling a rapid response from the detection of pathogens to the final specific gene activation through alteration of chromatin structure.…”

“…(20,21). IRF-3 activation upon LPS stimulation has also been demonstrated in Gal4-IRF-3 transactivation studies and in nuclear translocation assays (41,42). How LPS triggers these events is still not known.…”

“…These findings indicate that TRIF associates with TLR3 through the TIR domain and mediates the induction of IFN-␤ in response to poly(I:C). poly(I:C) and LPS stimulation has been shown to activate IRF-3 (6,19,20). Therefore, we next examined association of TRIF and IRF-3 (Fig.…”
