Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) is a critical transcription factor in innate immunity, primarily known for regulating type I interferon (IFN-α/β) production during viral infections. As the most potent member of the IRF family, it serves as a master switch for IFN-dependent immune responses. Structurally, IRF7 contains a conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal regulatory domain that undergoes phosphorylation for activation. Unlike other IRFs, IRF7 is constitutively expressed at low levels in most cells but is strongly induced upon pathogen detection through pattern recognition receptors (e.g., TLRs, RIG-I).
Recombinant IRF7 proteins are engineered using expression systems like *E. coli* or mammalian cells to study its functional mechanisms or therapeutic potential. These proteins retain key features of native IRF7. including dimerization capacity and DNA-binding specificity. Purification often involves affinity tags (e.g., His-tag) followed by biochemical validation of activity. Researchers utilize recombinant IRF7 to dissect signaling pathways, screen antiviral compounds, or develop gene therapies. For example, IRF7 overexpression has been explored to boost antiviral responses in vaccines or immunocompromised models.
Current challenges include understanding its post-translational modifications (e.g., ubiquitination, phosphorylation) that fine-tune activity, and resolving structural details of its interactions with co-regulators like TRAF6 or MyD88. Additionally, IRF7’s dual role in promoting inflammation and suppressing tumors highlights its therapeutic complexity. Recombinant protein tools continue to advance studies aiming to balance IRF7’s pro-inflammatory effects in autoimmune diseases versus its protective functions in infections and oncology. Ongoing work also explores engineered IRF7 variants with modulated activity for targeted immunotherapy applications.
