Abstract excerpt
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a latent cytoplasmic transcription factor. It is activated by cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) through phosphorylation at Tyr705 (pY705), which is required for its dimerization and nuclear translocation. However, the role of Ser727 phosphorylation, occurring during activation, remains poorly understood. Using a combination of...
