Microbial recognition by GEF-H1 controls IKKε mediated activation of IRF5

The transcription factor IRF5 is essential for immune defense against pathogens. Here, the authors show that the microtubule-associated factor GEF-H1 plays a critical role in host defense against Listeria monocytogenes in macrophages via activation of the IRF5 kinase IKKε.
