Abstract

The Jak kinases and Stat transcription factors play a major role in signaling of various cytokines including IFN alpha. In this report we show a ligand-independent interaction between Tyk-2 and Jak-1 kinases. We also demonstrate that the Tyk-2 kinase forms a homodimer that has the ability to undergo intermolecular tyrosine phosphorylation. The formation of the Tyk-2 homodimer is independent of both tyrosine phosphorylation and the presence of the tyrosine kinase domain.
