Shown below is a cytokine signaling pathway which regulates SOCS gene expression and T cell division. Cytokine Step 1: Cytokine receptors (CR) remain bound to JAK proteins and they are both Active CR dephosphorylated when inactive. Inactive CR P. Step 2: Binding of cytokines to CR causes two PIAK JAK-P JAK monomers of CR to dimerize. JAK STAT STAT-P Inactive Step 3: JAK proteins bound to the cytoplasmic domains of the CR phosphorylate each other. They also phosphorylate and activate the dimerized CR. STAT -P NUCLEUS STAT P Active STAT - P Step 4: Activated CR phosphorylates STAT proteins and this results in its dimerization and activation. STAT-P STAT P SOCS gene transcribed Step 5: Active STAT protein dimer moves to the nucleus and activates transcription of the SOCS gene by binding to its'promoter. SOCS CYTOPLASM Cell division gene expression promotes cell division. Which protein/s in the above pathway functions as a transcription factor? (Cytokine/CR/JAK/STAT/SOCS) а. b. Which protein/s in the above pathway functions as a kinase? (Cytokine/CR/JAK/STAT/SOCS) Consider the following homozygous mutations in different components of the signaling pathway. Mutant 1: CR lacks its extracellular domain that binds to cytokine ligand Mutant 2: STAT protein cannot be phosphorylated Mutant 3: SOCS promoter sequence is heavily methylated C. Complete the table for each of the mutations in the presence of cytokines Mutant CR active JAK active STAT SOCS Cell division (Yes/No) (Yes/No) dimerized expressed (Yes/No) (Yes/No) (Yes/No)
