JAK/STAT Signalling: STAT Cannot Play with Ken and Barbie
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transcriptional responses to the activation of a signalling pathway are cell-specific. New data show that the sequence-specific transcriptional repressors of the KEN/BCL-6 family play an important role in the selection of STAT targets in vertebrates and invertebrates, indicating that all STAT proteins may share this ancestral mechanism.

Ken & Barbie Selectively Regulates the Expression of a Subset of JAK/STAT Pathway Target Genes
A limited number of evolutionarily conserved signal transduction pathways are repeatedly reused during development to regulate a wide range of processes. Here we describe a new negative regulator of JAK/STAT signaling and identify a potential mechanism by which the pleiotropy of responses resulting from pathway activation is generated in vivo. As part of a genetic interaction screen, we have id...
متن کاملJAK-STAT pathway and JAK inhibitors: a primer for dermatologists
Background: All cellular events depend upon the DNA synthesis and gene expression involving complex interplay between ligands such as interleukins and interferons, with various cell membrane receptors. These ligand-receptors interactions transmit signals within the cell via numerous signal transduction pathways to affect gene expression. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcrip...
متن کاملThe Jak-Stat Signaling Pathway of Interferons System: Snapshots
Interferons (IFNs) are a family of small regulatory glycoproteins that play a central role in the defense against viral infections. Although IFNs have been initially discovered as antiviral factors, today they are known as an integral part of the cytokine network that affect a wide range of biological processes. IFNs exert their pleiotropic effects through their multisubunit cell surface recept...
متن کاملGa73B is a downstream effector of JAK/STAT signalling and a regulator of Rho1 in Drosophila haematopoiesis
JAK/STAT signalling regulates many essential developmental processes including cell proliferation and haematopoiesis, whereas its inappropriate activation is associated with the majority of myeloproliferative neoplasias and numerous cancers. Furthermore, high levels of JAK/STAT pathway signalling have also been associated with enhanced metastatic invasion by cancerous cells. Strikingly, gain-of...
