Function:Signal transducer and activator of transcription that mediates signaling by type I IFNs (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) . Following type I IFN binding to cell surface receptors , Jak kinases (TYK2 and JAK1) are activated , leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. The phosphorylated STATs dimerize , associate with ISGF3G/IRF-9 to form a complex termed ISGF3 transcription factor , that enters the nucleus. ISGF3 binds to the IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) to activate the transcription of interferon stimulated genes , which drive the cell in an antiviral state. ,PTM:Tyrosine phosphorylated in response to IFN-alpha. ,similarity:Belongs to the transcription factor STAT family. ,similarity:Contains 1 SH2 domain. ,subcellular location:Translocated into the nucleus upon activation by IFN-alpha/beta. ,subunit:Interacts with ISGF3G/IRF-9 in the cytoplasm. Heterodimer with STAT1 upon IFN-alpha/beta induced phosphorylation. Interacts with CRSP2 and CRSP6. Interacts with Simian virus 5 protein V and rabies virus phosphoprotein. ,
