JAK STAT PATHWAY
(JANUS KINAS SIGNAL TRANSDUCER AND ACTIVATOR OF
TRANSCRIPTION)
• Also known as CYTOKINE SIGNALLING PATHWAY
• Chain of interactions between proteins in a cell, involved in processes
• This pathway communicates information from
• Resulting in activation of genes through a process known as
TRANSCRIPTION
• This pathway stimulates cytokine which regulates many biological
processes
Cell Cell
nucleus
Via, chemical signals
Cell proliferation
Cell
differentiation
Apoptosis
Immune
regulation
3 KEY COMPONENTS
JANUS KINASE
(JAK)
RECEPTOR TYROSINE
KINASE
(RTK)
SIGNAL TRANSDUCER
AND ACTIVATOR OF
TRANSCRIPTION
(STAT)
STRUCTURE OF JAK
JAK Proteins
 JAK 1
 JAK 2
 JAK 3
 TYK 2
4 DOMAINS
 FERM domain
 SH2 domain
 PSEUDOKINASE
domain
 KINASE domain
FERM domain – mediates binding of CYTOKINE RECEPTORS
FERM + PSEUDOKINASE domain- regulate CATALYTIC ACTIVITY &
appear to INTERACT with the KINASE domain
KINASE domain- to phosphorylate proteins (vital for activity)
JAKs auto phosphorylate at ' MULTIPLE SITES '
Including TWO in the ACTIVATION LOOP of the KINASE DOMAIN.

SIGNALLING MOLECULE- CYTOKINE
RECEPTOR- CYTOKINE RECEPTOR
CELLULAR ACTIVATORS / SECOND MESSENGERS- JAK STAT CROSS PHOSPHORYLATION
TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS- STAT DIMER
CELLULAR EFFECTS-
Lymphocyte development

OVERVIEW
MECHANISM OF JAK STAT SIGNALLING
PATHWAY ACTIVATED BY CYTOKINES
CYTOKINES binds to their receptors
DIMERISATION ACTIVATES JAK proteins
associated with the receptors & come closer
This phosphorylation ATTRACTS INACTIVE STATS
JAK KINASES phosphorylates STATS
DIMERISE using SH2 DOMAINS
STAT DIMER travels to the NUCLEUS
STAT DIMER binds DNA & activates GENE TRANSCRIPTION
( dimerization of separate cytokine subunit)
(kinase then PHOSPHORLATES parts of the receptor
subunits/ tyrosine residues)
(new dimer undergoes conformational changes
during phosphorylation)
JAK STAT PATHWAY ACTIVATED BY
ALPHA- INTERFERON
 Alpha Interferon is a Cytokine produced by the INNATE
IMMUNITY in response to environmental exposures including
viral infections
This has been developed as therapy of several forms of cancer &
viral infections
BUT major use has been as therapy of CHRONIC
HEPATITIS C.
MECHANISM
SIGNALLING MOLECULE- alpha
interferon
RECEPTOR- TYK2 & JAK2
STAT ACTIVATED- STAT1 & STAT2
RESPONSE- increase cell response to
viral infection
BINDING of interferon CROSS LINKS adjacent receptors
JAKs CROSS PHOSPHORYLATE eachother ON TRYOSINE
ACTIVATED JAKs PHOSPHORYLATES RECEPTORS
STATs DOCK on specific phosphotryosines
JAKs phosphorylates them
STATs DISSOCIATES from RECEPTORS
DIMERISES by SH2 domain
STATs migrates to NUCLEUS BIND to DNA & other gene regulation
TARGET GENE
TRANSCRIPTION
