A family-wide assessment of latent STAT transcription factor interactions reveals divergent dimer repertoires (2023)
Journal Article
Begitt, A., Krause, S., Cavey, J. R., Vinkemeier, D. E., & Vinkemeier, U. (2023). A family-wide assessment of latent STAT transcription factor interactions reveals divergent dimer repertoires. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 299(5), Article 104703. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104703

The conversion of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins from latent to active transcription factors is central to cytokine signaling. Triggered by their signal-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, it is the assembly of a range...

STAT2 is a pervasive cytokine regulator due to its inhibition of STAT1 in multiple signaling pathways (2016)
Journal Article
Ho, J., Pelzel, C., Begitt, A., Mee, M., Elsheikha, H. M., Scott, D. J., & Vinkemeier, U. (2016). STAT2 is a pervasive cytokine regulator due to its inhibition of STAT1 in multiple signaling pathways. PLoS Biology, 14(10), 1-27. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.2000117

STAT2 is the quintessential transcription factor for type 1 interferons (IFNs), where it functions as a heterodimer with STAT1. However, the human and murine STAT2-deficient phenotypes suggest important additional and currently unidentified type 1 IF...

STAT1-cooperative DNA binding distinguishes type 1 from type 2 interferon signaling (2014)
Journal Article
Begitt, A., Droescher, M., Meyer, T., Schmid, C. D., Baker, M., Antunes, F., …Vinkemeier, U. (in press). STAT1-cooperative DNA binding distinguishes type 1 from type 2 interferon signaling. Nature Immunology, 15(2), https://doi.org/10.1038/ni.2794

STAT1 is an indispensable component of a heterotrimer (ISGF3) and a STAT1 homodimer (GAF) that function as transcription regulators in type 1 and type 2 interferon signaling, respectively. To investigate the importance of STAT1-cooperative DNA bindin... Read More about STAT1-cooperative DNA binding distinguishes type 1 from type 2 interferon signaling.

SUMO conjugation of STAT1 protects cells from hyperresponsiveness to IFN? (2011)
Journal Article
Begitt, A., Droescher, M., Knobeloch, K., & Vinkemeier, U. (2011). SUMO conjugation of STAT1 protects cells from hyperresponsiveness to IFN?. Blood, 118(4), https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2011-04-347930

The biologic effects of IFNγ are mediated by the transcription factor STAT1. The activity of STAT1 is inhibited by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) conjugation. This occurs both directly through decreasing STAT1 tyrosine phosphorylation and indir... Read More about SUMO conjugation of STAT1 protects cells from hyperresponsiveness to IFN?.
