Primary Identifier | IPR022756 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | STAT2_C |
description | This region is found in the mammalian signal transducer and activation of transcription (STAT) 2 protein, and is approximately 60 amino acids in length. The family is found in association with , , , . There is a conserved DLP sequence motif. STATs are involved in transcriptional regulation and are the only regulators known to be modulated by tyrosine phosphorylation. STAT2 forms a trimeric complex with STAT1 and IRF-9 (Interferon Regulatory Factor 9), on activation of the cell by interferon, which is called ISGF3 (Interferon-stimulated gene factor 3). The C-terminal domain of STAT2 contains a nuclear export signal (NES) which allows export of STAT2 into the cytoplasm along with any complexed molecules. |
