Popis: The transcription factor, IRF5, has been implicated in the regulation of inflammation, but how IRF5 protein is activated is still unclear. Here the authors use inhibitor library screening, biochemical analyses and in vivo/ex vivo data to show that a protein tyrosine kinase, Pyk2, may be key for the activation of IRF5 in macrophages and inflammatory responses in the gut.
