Gene Information

human ... IFI16(3428)

General description

The gene IFI-16 (interferon, γ-inducible protein 16) encodes a member of the interferon-inducible nuclear proteins family containing one or two copies of a conserved 200 amino acid repeat domain called HIN-200 domain. It has three different isoforms, IFI-16A, -16B, -16C. The IFI-16A isoform is the longest with 785 amino acids. IFI-16B is the most broadly expressed isoform with 729 amino acids and IFI-16C has 56 amino acids lesser. The three isoforms have serine and threonine residues which can be phosphorylated. The N-terminus contains an imperfect leucine zipper domain, where the isoforms homo- and heterodimerize. IFI-16 contains an N-terminal domain called DAPIN/PYRIN/CARD that may be involved in protein–protein interactions. IFI-16 is expressed in some haemopoietic lineages , such as CD34+ progenitor cells, mature lymphocytes and monocytes. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 1q22.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 768-783 at the C-terminus of human IFI-16.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene IFI-16 (interferon, γ-inducible protein 16) encodes an interferon-inducible transcriptional modulator from the p200-protein family. It may play a role in negative regulation of transcription. Overexpression of this gene in older populations of human fibroblasts leads to cellular senescence. It is also associated with senescence-associated irreversible cell growth arrest in normal human prostate epithelial cells.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, and 15 mM sodium azide.

IFI 16 is a member of the HIN-200 protein family named for their haemopoietic expression, interferon-inducibility and nuclear localisation. These proteins have been characterised as transcriptional regulators that modulate the cell cycle. IFI 16 is expressed in some haemopoietic lineages

Oncogene, 23(37), 6209-6217 (2004-06-23)
Defects in interferon (IFN) signaling that result in loss of expression of IFN-inducible proteins are associated with cellular immortalization, an important early event in the development of human cancer. Here we report that loss of IFN-inducible IFI 16 expression in

IFI 16 is a member of a family of interferon-inducible proteins, including the human MNDA (myeloid nuclear differentiation antigen), the recently identified AIM-2 (absent in melanoma), and the homologous murine molecules, p202, p204, and D3. IFI 16 contains a domain

We recently demonstrated that IFI 16, a human member of a family of interferon-inducible nuclear proteins, can function as a potent repressor of transcription. All members of this family are found in the nucleus and contain 1 or 2 copies

IFN-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) is an innate immune sensor that forms filamentous oligomers when activated by double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Anti-IFI16 autoantibodies occur in patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and associate with severe phenotypic features. We undertook this study to determine
