...Although STAT1 is the primary transactivator immediately downstream of IFN-g , there is evidence that, under certain circumstances, some STAT1-independent transactivators Authors' Affiliation: Laboratory of Cancer Biology & Genetics, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH, Bethesda, Maryland Corresponding Author: M.

...It has also been proposed that the transcriptional activity of STAT1 is enhanced by kinases such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase C (PKC), and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, which phosphorylate STAT1 in the transactivation domain (20)....
