Regulation of Stat3 transcriptional activity by the conserved LPMSP motif for OSM and IL-6 signaling

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

To achieve maximal transcriptional activity in response to gp130 cytokines, Serine-727 (Ser-727) of Stat3 is phosphorylated. Ser-727 resides in the LPMSP motif, the only conserved sequence among the transcription activation domains of several STATs. We show here that in addition to Ser-727, other residues in this LPMSP motif are also required for Stat3 activity in response to cytokine signaling through regulation of Ser-727 phosphorylation and recruitment of the transcription co-activator CBP/p300 to the promoters of Stat3-target genes for transcription activation. Hence, we have demonstrated a critical role for the whole conserved LPMSP motif in JAK-STAT signaling.
