Human leukocyte interferon (IFN-α) binds to discrete cell surface receptors on target cells, and thereby alters gene expression. Transmembrane signaling by IFN-α involves the production of DAG without an increased intracellular free calcium concentration, and the subsequent activation of calcium-independent isoforms of PKC (β and ϵ). Selective PKC inhibitors (H-7 and staurosporine) can block the ability of IFN-α to activate the transcription of a distinct set of genes, called the IFN-stimulated genes (ISG), and to protect cells against viral infection. IFN-α also induces the rapid changes in protein phosphorylation, which may include latent transcription factors for ISGs.
