Stat3 as an Oncogene
Jacqueline Bromberg,Melissa H. Wrzeszczynska,Geeta Devgan,Yanxiang Zhao,Richard G. Pestell,Chris Albanese,James E. Darnell +6 more
TL;DR: Substitution of two cysteine residues within the C-terminal loop of the SH2 domain of Stat3 produces a molecule that dimerizes spontaneously, binds to DNA, and activates transcription.

Journal ArticleDOI
Interacting Regions in Stat3 and c-Jun That Participate in Cooperative Transcriptional Activation
TL;DR: This work confirms the existence of an interaction between Stat3 and c-Jun both in vitro, with recombinant proteins, and in vivo, during transient transfection with the α2-macroglobulin enhancer.
Patent
Constitutively active transcription factors and their uses for identifying modulators of activity including dysproliferative cellular changes
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Stat protein has at least one cysteine residue which may interact with the corresponding cystine residue on another modified stat protein to form a dimer.
Patent
Methods for identifying modulators of transcriptional activator protein interactions
TL;DR: In this article, a method for identifying interacting regions of transcription factors, and agents which modulate the interactions, useful for affecting gene regulation, for example, cellular transformation, was proposed.
