During a genome-wide RNAi screen, we isolated CG8580 as a gene involved in the innate immune response of Drosophila. CG8580, which we named Akirin, acts in parallel with the NF-κB transcription factor downstream of the Imd pathway and was required for defense against Gram-negative bacteria. Akirin is highly conserved and the human genome contains two homologues, one of which was able to rescue the loss of function phenotype in Drosophila cells. Akirins had a strict nuclear localization. Knockout of both Akirin homologues in mice revealed that one had an essential function downstream of Toll-like receptor, tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1-β (IL-1β) signaling pathways leading to the production of IL-6. Thus, Akirin is a conserved nuclear factor required for innate immune responses.
