BRCA1 PARTICIPATES IN IRF3, which CONNECTED TO Type I interferons
A→B Evidence (3 total)
“Type I interferons (IFN-alpha/beta) play an essential role in both innate and adaptive antiviral immune responses.”— Interferon-beta induction through toll-like receptor 3 depends on double-stranded RNA structure. (2005)DOI
“Type I interferons (interferon [IFN]-alpha/beta) are key mediators of innate antiviral responses.”— Dengue virus NS5 inhibits interferon-alpha signaling by blocking signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 phosphorylation. (2009)DOI
Why This Is Novel
Only 3 papers mention both BRCA1 and Type I interferons. The IRF3 pathway connecting them is largely uncharacterized.
