Function

Transcription factor that specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)). Can both act as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Plays a negative regulatory role in cells of the immune system.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in bone marrow macrophages (at protein level). Mainly expressed in lymphoid tissues. Predominantly expressed in CD8(+)-expressing dendritic cells

Function

Transcription factor that specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)) (PubMed:12393690, PubMed:2111015). Can both act as a transcriptional activator or repressor (PubMed:2111015). Plays a negative regulatory role in cells of the immune system (PubMed:2111015). Involved in CD8(+) dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB heterodimer in immune cells, leading to recognition of AICE sequence (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF8 and activation of genes (PubMed:12393690, PubMed:22992524). Required for the development of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which produce most of the type I IFN in response to viral infection (PubMed:12393690, PubMed:12461077, PubMed:12538667, PubMed:23382217). Positively regulates macroautophagy in dendritic cells (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional repressor of osteoclast differentiation factors such as NFATC1 and EEIG1 (PubMed:32741026)
