摘要： The interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a mediator of the type I IFN signalling pathways, thereby playing a key role in innate immunity. However, the detailed mechanism through which IRF5 regulates type I IFN in fish remains unclearly. In the present study, we first describe the identification of IRF5 (ToIRF5) from golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) and its features at the genomic sequence and expression level. The genomic DNA sequence consists of eight exons and seven introns. The full-length ToIRF5 cDNA is composed of 2, 059 bp and encodes for 499 amino acid polypeptides. The putative protein sequence shares 66.3%-82.9% identity to fish IRF5 and possesses three representative conserved domains (a DNA-binding domain (DBD) at the N-terminus, an IRF-associated domain (IAD), and a virus-activated domain (VAD) at the C-terminus) and one highly variable domain (middle region (MR)). Furthermore, the ToIRF5 transcript is constitutively expressed in all examined tissues, with higher levels observed in the immune relevant tissues. The mRNA levels of ToIRF5 are increased by polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid [poly (I: C)], lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and flagellin stimulation in the immune- and nonimmune-related tissues. The subcellular localization indicates that ToIRF5 is mainly localized in the cytoplasm with or without poly (I: C) induction. In addition, to explore whether ToIRF5 is a modulator of To1FNa3, promoter analysis is performed. The region from -200 bp to +1 bp is identified as the core promoter by different truncated mutants of ToIFNa3. Mutation analyse declares that the activity of the ToIFNa3-5 promoter significantly decreases after targeted mutation of M2 binding sites. Moreover, overexpression of ToIRF5 in vitro memorably aggrandizes the expression of some IFN/IRF-based signalling pathway genes. These results provide new insights into the roles of teleost IRF5 in transcriptional mechanisms of type I IFN in the immunity process.
