Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) is a critical component of cell-intrinsic innate immunity that regulates both constitutive and induced antiviral defenses. Due to its short half-life, IRF1 function is generally considered to be regulated by its synthesis. However, how IRF1 activity is controlled post-translationally has remained poorly characterized. Here, we employed a proteomics approach to identify proteins interacting with IRF1, and found that CSNK2B, a regulatory subunit of casein kinase 2, interacts directly with IRF1 and constitutively modulates its transcriptional activity...
