IRF3 is activated through a two-step phosphorylation in the C-terminal domain mediated by TBK1 and/or IKKi, requiring Ser386 and/or Ser385- site 1; and a cluster of serine/threonine residues between Ser396 and Ser405- site 2 [Panne et al 2007]. Phosphorylated residues at site 2 (Ser396 - Ser405) alleviate autoinhibition to allow interaction with CBP (CREB-binding protein) and facilitate phosphorylation at site 1 (Ser385 or Ser386). Phosphorylation at site 1 is required for IRF3 dimerization.
