CC -!- FUNCTION: Transcription factor that specifically binds to the upstream
CC regulatory region of type I interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible MHC
CC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS))
CC (PubMed:2111015, PubMed:12393690). Can both act as a transcriptional
CC activator or repressor (PubMed:2111015). Plays a negative regulatory
CC role in cells of the immune system (PubMed:2111015). Involved in CD8(+)
CC dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB
CC heterodimer in immune cells, leading to recognition of AICE sequence
CC (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed
CC by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF8 and activation of genes
CC (PubMed:12393690, PubMed:22992524). Required for the development of
CC plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which produce most of the type I
CC IFN in response to viral infection (PubMed:12461077, PubMed:12393690,
CC PubMed:12538667, PubMed:23382217). Positively regulates macroautophagy
CC in dendritic cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q02556,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393690, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12461077,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:12538667, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2111015,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:22992524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23382217}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with COPS2 (By similarity). Interacts (via C-
CC terminus) with TRIM21 (via C-terminus). Interacts with the BATF-JUNB
CC heterodimer. Interacts with BATF (via bZIP domain); the interaction is
CC direct. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17579016,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:22992524}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17579016}. Cytoplasm
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q02556}. Note=In resting macrophages, localizes
CC in the cytoplasm. Translocated in the nucleus upon IFN-gamma induction.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q02556}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Mainly expressed in lymphoid tissues
CC (PubMed:2111015). Predominantly expressed in CD8(+)-expressing
CC dendritic cells (PubMed:12393690). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393690,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:2111015}.
CC -!- INDUCTION: By interferon gamma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17579016}.
CC -!- PTM: Ubiquitinated (PubMed:17579016). Ubiquitination by TRIM21 in
CC macrophages, a process that is strongly increased upon interferon gamma
CC stimulation, leds to the enhanced transcriptional activity of target
CC cytokine genes (PubMed:17579016). Ubiquitination leads to its
CC degradation by the proteasome (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q02556, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17579016}.
CC -!- PTM: Sumoylated with SUMO3. Desumoylated by SENP1.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q02556}.
CC -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Mice display an absence of interferon (IFN)-
CC producing cells and show impaired IFN production in response to viral
CC infection (PubMed:12461077). Complete absence of plasmacytoid dendritic
CC cells (pDCs) and conventional CD8(+)-expressing dendritic cells (cDCs)
CC (PubMed:12393690, PubMed:12538667, PubMed:23382217). Mice display
CC reduced autoimmunity (PubMed:23382217). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393690,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:12461077, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12538667,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:23382217}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the IRF family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-
CC ProRule:PRU00840}.
