SH2 signaling in a lower eukaryote: a Stat protein that regulates stalk cell differentiation in Dictyostelium. of outstanding interest Cell. 89:1997;909-916 This paper identifies a key transcriptional regulator that mediates cell - cell communication as a member of the STAT family. As Dictyosetelium is one of the most primitive multicellular organisms, it appears that STATs arose early in evolution as means of signal transduction. The most conserved regions between the Dictyostelium and mammalian STAT proteins are the DNA-binding domain and the SH2 domain.

Crystal structure of a STAT-1 dimer bound to DNA. of outstanding interest Cell. 93:1998;827-839 This paper provides the first structural analysis of a STAT-DNA complex. The DNA-binding domain has the structure of the immunoglobulin fold, similar to NF-κB and p53. The SH2 domain is structurally very similar to src, despite the lack of sequence homology outside the phosphotyrosine-binding pocket.

Specific inhibition of Stat3 signal transduction by PIAS3. of outstanding interest Science. 278:1997;1803-1805 An inhibitor of STAT3 DNA binding is identified. As PIAS3 is a member of a family of related proteins and does not interact with STAT1, it may be that specific PIAS proteins exist for each of the STATs. The exploration of how PIAS proteins inhibit STAT DNA binding and how their expression and activity is regulated will be hot topics in the field.
