TL;DR
The results indicate that growth regulation and gene expression are principally controlled by distinct regions of IL-4R.
Abstract
IL-4 causes hematopoietic cells to proliferate and express a series of genes, including CD23. We examined whether IL-4-mediated growth, as measured by 4PS phosphorylation, and gene induction were similarly controlled. Studies of M12.4.1 cells expressing human IL-4R truncation mutants indicated that the region between amino acids 557-657 is necessary for full gene expression, which correlated with Stat6 DNA binding activity. This region was not required for 4PS phosphorylation. Tyrosine-to-phenylalanine mutations in the interval between amino acids 557-657 revealed that as long as one tyrosine remained unmutated, CD23 was fully induced. When all three tyrosines were mutated, the receptor was unable to induce CD23. The results indicate that growth regulation and gene expression are principally controlled by distinct regions of IL-4R.

6,103 Citations1994James Darnell, lan M. Kerr +1 more
A previously unrecognized direct signal transduction pathway to the nucleus has been uncovered: IFN-receptor interaction at the cell surface leads to the activation of kinases of the Jak family that phosphorylate substrate proteins called STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription).
NatureStructure of the insulin receptor substrate IRS-1 defines a unique signal transduction protein
1,577 Citations1991Xiao‐Jian Sun, Paul Rothenberg +7 more
During insulin stimulation, the IRS-1 protein undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and binds phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, suggesting that IRS–1 acts as a multisite Mocking' protein to bind signal-transducing molecules containing Src-homology 2 and SRC-Homology-3 domains, which may link the insulin receptor kinase and enzymes regulating cellular growth and metabolism.
