Abstract
We show that the IRF-2 oncoprotein represses virus-induced IFN-beta gene transcription via a novel mechanism. Virus infection induces recruitment of IRF-2 to some of the endogenous IFN-beta enhancers as part of the enhanceosome. Enhanceosomes bearing IRF-2 cannot activate transcription, due to the presence of a domain in IRF-2 that prevents enhanceosome-dependent recruitment of the CBP-Pol II holoenzyme complex. As a consequence, IRF-2 incorporation into enhanceosomes restricts the number of IFN-beta promoters directing transcription. Remarkably, deletion of the IRF-2 gene increases IFN-beta expression by expanding the number of cells capable of inducing IFN-beta gene transcription in response to virus infection.
