MAPPIT: a versatile tool to study cytokine receptor signalling.
MAPPIT (mammalian protein-protein interaction trap) is a cytokine receptor-based two-hybrid method that operates in intact mammalian cells. A bait is fused C-terminally to a STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) recruitment-deficient receptor, whereas the prey is linked to functional STAT-binding sites. When bait and prey interact a ligand-dependent complementation of the STAT...
متن کاملCytokine and Cytokine Receptor
Cytokines represent a diverse group of molecules that collectively exert a wide range of actions (1). The term cytokine is rather general, technically referring to a molecule made by one cell that acts on another, but cytokines are primarily growth factors and hormones of the immune and hematopoietic systems. The term broadly encompasses many of the interleukins and colony-stimulating factors (...
متن کاملCross-regulation of cytokine signalling: pro-inflammatory cytokines restrict IL-6 signalling through receptor internalisation and degradation.
The inflammatory response involves a complex interplay of different cytokines which act in an auto- or paracrine manner to induce the so-called acute phase response. Cytokines are known to crosstalk on multiple levels, for instance by regulating the mRNA stability of targeted cytokines through activation of the p38-MAPK pathway. In our study we discovered a new mechanism that answers the long-s...
متن کاملInhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine receptor signalling by cAMP in vascular endothelial cells.
The anti-inflammatory effects of the prototypical second messenger cAMP have been extensively documented in multiple cell types. However, in many instances, the molecular mechanisms by which cAMP elevation disrupts specific pro-inflammatory signalling cascades are unknown. In this review, we will describe the importance of the JAK-STAT (where JAK stands for Janus kinase and STAT for signal tran...
