Summary
STAT1 mediates IFNG cytokine signalling, and as a member of the STAT family protein, STAT1 has a significant impact on the innate immunity during sepsis.
STAT1 serine phosphorylation is induced by TNF-alpha and PGE2 and this activates expression of the STAT1 and NF-kappaB target gene IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), which contributes to IFN responses.
STAT1 phosphorylation and DNA binding activity is under the control of Janus protein-tyrosine kinases (JAKs) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
Acetylation of STAT1 modulates NF-kappaB activity and thus ultimately apoptosis where, as a result, RELA DNA binding, nuclear localization, and expression of anti-apoptotic NF-kappaB target genes decrease.
STAT1 is part of the interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) transcription complex which is composed of a STAT1:2 heterodimer and a weak DNA-binding protein, IRF9.
STAT1 transcription factor enhances TLR8 functionality by binding of to GAS elements on the TLR8 promoter in an IFN-gamma-dependent manner.
STAT1 phosphorylation at Ser708 is a key event in the IFN signalling pathway that imparts anti-viral immunity to restrict West Nile virus infection. (Demonstrated in mice)
Histone deacetylase inhibitors prevent IFNG-mediated phosphorylation of STAT1.
TNK1 is a component of the IFN-JAK-STAT signalling cascade and is a critical antiviral host factor where its abundance is inversely correlated to viral replication and contributes to the hepatocytic response to antiviral treatment.
STAT1 is directly recruited to TRAF6, demonstrating cross-talk between the TLR and JAK/STAT signalling pathways, and this direct activation of STAT1 by TLR signalling suggests a crucial role for STAT1 in TLR-induced inflammation. Demonstrated in mice.

Summary
[Mus musculus] Stat1 phosphorylation at Ser708 is a key event in the IFN signalling pathway that imparts anti-viral immunity to restrict West Nile virus infection.
[Mus musculus] Histone deacetylase inhibitors prevent Ifng-mediated phosphorylation of Stat1. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Il28ra (Ifnlr1), Stat1 and Irf3 are required for antibiotics to prevent persistent murine norovirus infection.
[Mus musculus] Cd81 inhibits Rac1/Stat1 activation and negatively regulates the defence mechanisms to Listeria monocytogenes infection.
[Mus musculus] Treml4 is an essential positive regulator of Tlr7 signalling. Treml4(-/-) macrophages are hyporesponsive to Tlr7 agonists and fail to produce type I interferons due to impaired phosphorylation of Stat1 by Mapk14 and decreased recruitment of Myd88 to Tlr7.
[Mus musculus] Transcriptional activation of Adar by IFN occurs in the absence of Stat1 by a non-canonical Stat2-dependent pathway.
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. This protein can be activated by various ligands including interferon-alpha, interferon-gamma, EGF, PDGF and IL6. This protein mediates the expression of a variety of genes, which is thought to be important for cell viability in response to different cell stimuli and pathogens. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
