1 Although tyrosine residues in the intracellular domain of the mouse IL-7R alpha-chain (IL-7Ralpha) have been implicated in STAT5 activation, it is still unknown whether they are essential for gammadelta T cell development. Tyrosine signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A Mus musculus
2 Treatment of cells with MEK1/2 inhibitors significantly decreased levels of TCRgamma germline transcription and STAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation mediated by 4R/7R-FFFF, suggesting that MEK1/2 plays an alternative role in STAT5 activation by IL-7R. Tyrosine signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A Mus musculus
3 MEK1/2 associated with STAT5 and induced STAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation and DNA binding activity. Tyrosine signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A Mus musculus
4 Furthermore, MEK1 directly phosphorylated a STAT5 tyrosine residue in vitro. Tyrosine signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A Mus musculus
5 These results demonstrate that MEK1/2 induces TCRgamma germline transcription by phosphorylating STAT5 through IL-7R-FFFF and suggest a potential role for MAPK in IL-7R tyrosine-independent activation of STAT5. Tyrosine signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A Mus musculus
