Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

Transcription factor that binds to the IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) and to the GAS element. This multiprotein transcription factor is termed ISGF3.

Subunit:

In response to IFN alpha/beta, three subunits (STAT1-alpha, STAT1-beta, STAT2) of ISGF3, become phosphorylated on tyrosine, migrate into the nucleus, and assemble into a complex together with ISGF3 gamma (p48), a DNA-binding protein that specifically binds to the IFN-stimulated response element. In response to IFN gamma, STAT1 forms homodimers, that also translocate into the nucleus to activate IFN gamma-responsive genes. Interacts with NMI.

Subcellular location:

Nuclear; translocated into the nucleus in response to phosphorylation.

Post-translational modification:

Tyrosine phosphorylated in response to IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha, pdgf, and egf. Serine phosphorylation is also required for maximal transcriptional activity (lacking in beta form).
