描述：

Phospho-IRF-3 (Ser396) (4D4G) Rabbit mAb兔单抗只能检测内源的在Ser396位点磷酸化的IRF-3蛋白。此单克隆抗体是通过合成人源对应的IRF-3 Ser396位点周围的磷肽段来免疫动物而获得。IRF-3能抑制细胞的生长并在调控天然免疫应答基因中发挥了重要的作用(1-4)。在未受到刺激的细胞中, IRF-3 存在于细胞质中。病毒感染导致IRF-3磷酸化及其在细胞核的定位并激活具有IRF-3结合位点的启动子。IRF-3的磷酸化位点位于C-末端丝氨酸和苏氨酸簇中 (在385和405位点之间)导致了其与p300/CBP共激活蛋白的结合，从而促进DNA的结合和转录的活性(5)。在感染期间, IRF-3很可能是通过包括TLR和IKKε和 TBK1激酶复合体在内的一系列的信号通路而激活(6,7)。在受到病毒的感染、病毒核蛋白壳表达以及双链RNA的处理后，IRF-3在Ser396位点发生磷酸化，这些事件对IRF-3的激活非常重要(8)。

Background

Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) comprise a family of transcription factors that function within the Jak/Stat pathway to regulate interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible gene expression in response to viral infection (1). IRFs play an important role in pathogen defense, autoimmunity, lymphocyte development, cell growth, and susceptibility to transformation. The IRF family includes nine members: IRF-1, IRF-2, ISGF3γ/p48, IRF-3, IRF-4 (Pip/LSIRF/ICSAT), IRF-5, IRF-6, IRF-7, and IRF-8/ICSBP. All IRF proteins share homology in their amino-terminal DNA-binding domains. IRF family members regulate transcription through interactions with proteins that share similar DNA-binding motifs, such as IFN-stimulated response elements (ISRE), IFN consensus sequences (ICS) and IFN regulatory elements (IRF-E) (2).IRF-3 can inhibit cell growth and plays a critical role in controlling the expression of genes in the innate immune response (1-4). In unstimulated cells, IRF-3 is present in the cytoplasm. Viral infection results in phosphorylation of IRF-3 and leads to its translocation to the nucleus where it activates promoters containing IRF-3-binding sites. Phosphorylation of IRF-3 occurs at a cluster of C-terminal serine and threonine residues (between 385 and 405) leading to its association with the p300/CBP coactivator protein that promotes DNA binding and transcriptional activity (5). During infection, IRF-3 is likely activated through a pathway that includes activation of Toll-like receptors and of a kinase complex that includes IKKε and TBK1 (6,7). IRF-3 is phosphorylated at Ser396 following viral infection, expression of viral nucleocapsid, and double stranded RNA treatment. These events likely play a role in activation of IRF-3 (8).
