IFI16: At the Interphase between Innate DNA Sensing and Genome Regulation

Jakobsen, Martin R., Paludan, Søren R.·2014·Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews

Abstract

DNA carries the genetic code, and is also a potent stimulator of innate immune responses. IFI16 is a member of the family of PYHIN proteins and is composed of a PYRIN domain involved in homotypic protein-protein interactions and two HIN domains mediating DNA binding. PYHIN proteins have been described to possess functions as innate pattern recognition receptors or transcriptional regulators. Interestingly, it is now emerging that IFI16, which exhibits both nuclear and cytosolic location, possesses both of these functions. In this review we discuss the current literature on IFI16 and propose key questions now facing this field of research. We propose that IFI16 plays a central role in the close interaction between the innate immune system and cellular regulation of the genome.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • IFI16 is predominantly nuclear with smaller quantities in cytoplasm, recognizes dsDNA, is linked with STING adaptor, and is involved in inflammasome formation.

    “Interferon (IFN)-γ inducible protein 16 (IFI16) is another DNA sensor from the same family as AIM2, which can be found predominantly in the nucleus, with smaller quantities in the cytoplasm.Also capable of recognizing dsDNA, IFI16 is linked with STING adaptor and is involved in inflammasome formation [78,81].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
