Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a PTEN-regulated STAT3 brain tumor suppressor pathway

TL;DR: It is reported that STAT3 plays a pro-oncogenic or tumor-suppressive role depending on the mutational profile of the tumor, providing the rationale for tailored therapeutic intervention in glioblastoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ras-independent growth factor signaling by transcription factor tyrosine phosphorylation

TL;DR: Activation of this factor was independent of the normal functioning of Ras, and required the major sites for autophosphorylation on the EGF receptor that bind Src homology region 2 domain-containing proteins implicated in Ras activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification and cloning of interferon-stimulated gene factor 2 (ISGF2): ISGF2 (IRF-1) can bind to the promoters of both beta interferon- and interferon-stimulated genes but is not a primary transcriptional activator of either.

TL;DR: Interferon-stimulated gene factor 2 (ISGF2) was purified from HeLa cells treated with alpha interferon and sequence analysis revealed that the ISGF2 protein was the same as that encoded by the cDNA clone IRF-1, which has been claimed to activate transcription ofinterferon genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-alpha regulates nuclear translocation and DNA-binding affinity of ISGF3, a multimeric transcriptional activator.

TL;DR: It is shown that post-translational activation of ISGF3 in the cytoplasm of IFN-alpha-treated cells requires two cy toplasmic activities to produce an ISRE-binding complex that accumulates in the nucleus, and that these activities are actually distinct subunits of the IS GF3 complex, which associate through noncovalent interaction.
