TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Identification of GAS-dependent interferon-sensitive target genes whose transcription is STAT2-dependent but ISGF3-independent

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) is best known as a critical transactivator component of the interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex that drives the expression of many interferon (IFN)-inducible genes. However, STAT2 is also involved in DNA binding in non-ISGF3 transcriptional complexes. | ềFEBS Journal Identification of GAS-dependent interferon-sensitive target genes whose transcription is STAT2-dependent but ISGF3-independent Melissa M.

However STAT2 is also involved in DNA binding in non-ISGF3 transcriptional complexes. We used a DNA microarray to survey the expression of genes regulated by IFN-inducible STAT2-depend-ent DNA binding and compared the cDNAs of IFN-treated cells overexpressing intact STAT2 to those of IFN-treated cells overexpressing mutated STAT2 lacking the DNA binding domain. The IFN-inducible expression of genes known to be regulated by ISGF3 was similar in both cases. However a subset of IFN-inducible genes was identified whose expression was decreased in cells expressing the mutated STAT2. Importantly these genes all contained gamma-activated sequence GAS -like elements in their 5 flanking sequences. Our data reveal the existence of a collection of GAS-regulated target genes whose expression is IFN-inducible and independent of ISGF3 but highly dependent on the .
