Antagonizing STAT5B dimerization with an osmium complex
نویسندگان
چکیده
Targeting STAT5 is an appealing therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and inflammation. Here, we present the novel osmium(II) complex 1 as the first metal-based inhibitor of STAT5B dimerization. Complex 1 exhibited superior inhibitory activity against STAT5B DNA binding compared to STAT5A DNA binding. Moreover, 1 repressed STAT5B transcription and blocked STAT5B dimerization via binding to the STAT5B protein, thereby inhibiting STAT5B translocation to the nucleus. Furthermore, 1 was able to selectively inhibit STAT5B phosphorylation without affecting the expression level of STAT5B.

A mutant signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b, associated with growth hormone insensitivity and insulin-like growth factor-I deficiency, cannot function as a signal transducer or transcription factor.
CONTEXT A natural missense mutation in the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 5b gene was recently identified in association with a female patient presenting with severe growth failure and immune dysfunction. The mutation results in an alanine to proline substitution at residue 630 (A630P) in the src-homology-2 domain, a region essential for docking of STATs to phospho-tyro...

متن کاملCharacterization of Stat5a and Stat5b homodimers and heterodimers and their association with the glucocortiocoid receptor in mammary cells.
The lactogenic hormones, i.e., prolactin and glucocorticoids, act in concert to stimulate transcription factors responsible for hormone-dependent milk protein gene expression. In the mammary gland, prolactin activates Stat5a and Stat5b and glucocorticoids activate the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that in mammary cells, Stat5a, Stat5b, and the GR are phy...

The signal transducer and activator of transcription, STAT5b, has been implicated in signal transduction pathways for a number of cytokines and growth factors, including growth hormone (GH). Pulsatile but not continuous GH exposure activates liver STAT5b by tyrosine phosphorylation, leading to dimerization, nuclear translocation, and transcriptional activation of the STAT, which is proposed to ...

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b (STAT5b), the major liver-expressed STAT5 form, is phosphorylated on both tyrosine and serine in GH-stimulated cells. Although tyrosine phosphorylation is known to be critical for the dimerization, nuclear translocation, and activation of STAT5b DNA-binding and transcriptional activities, the effect of STAT5b serine phosphorylation is uncertai...
