The stat proteins function both as cytoplasmic signal transducers and as activators of transcription. Stat1 is expressed as two variants of 84 and 91 kDa. Stat1 proteins contain SH2 and SH3 domains, and are components of the interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex. This complex is the primary transcription activator induced by the binding of interferon to its receptors. In response to activation by various cytokines and growth factors, stat1 subunits become phosphorylated at tyrosine 701. This leads to translocation of stat1 to the nucleus, resulting in formation of an active ISGF3 complex. Active ISGF3 modulates the transcription of the interferon-stimulated genes. Thus, phosphorylation of Tyr-701 is critical for gene expression mediated by various cytokines and growth factors.

Western blot analysis of human A431 cells untreated (lanes 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9) or treated with EGF (100 nM) for 60 min (lanes 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10). The blots were probed with anti-Stat1 (lanes 1 & 2), anti-Stat1 (Tyr-701) (lanes 3 & 4), anti-Stat3 (lanes 5 & 6), anti-Stat5 (lanes 7 & 8), and anti-Stat5 (Tyr-694) (lanes 9 & 10).

Immunocytochemical labeling of Stat1 in human A431 cells. The cells were labeled with mouse monoclonal Stat1 (SM2491) antibody (Right), then the antibody was detected using appropriate secondary antibody conjugated to DyLight® 594. Corresponding phase image is shown to the left.

Clone (M249) was generated from a recombinant protein from human Stat1. This sequence has high homology to the conserved region in rat and mouse stat1 a and b.
