In vitro activation of Stat3 by epidermal growth factor receptor kinase

Abstract

Stat proteins are SH2 domain-containing transcription factors that are activated in cells by various cytokines and growth factors. In the case of cytokines whose receptors lack protein kinase activity, phosphorylation-activation is mediated by members of the JAK family of tyrosine protein kinases. In the case of growth factors whose receptors have intrinsic tyrosine protein kinase activity, it is thought that Stat proteins can be activated either directly by the receptor or indirectly through JAK proteins. To test the possibility of direct activation, we have used purified Stat3 alpha, Stat3 beta, and epidermal growth factor receptor kinase produced in recombinant baculovirus-infected Sf9 insect cells. The Stat proteins formed a stable complex with the receptor kinase, and they were phosphorylated on tyrosine by the receptor kinase and activated for binding to DNA, properties shared with Stat proteins purified from Sf9 cells coexpressing JAK1 or JAK2. Both JAK-phosphorylated Stat3 beta and Stat3 beta phosphorylated in vitro by the receptor kinase were 20-50 times more active on a molar basis for DNA binding than phosphorylated Stat3 alpha. We conclude that Stat3 isoforms can be directly phosphorylated and thereby activated in v...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
