Abstract

ISGF-3 is a multiprotein transcription factor that is very quickly activated in the cell cytoplasm only after attachment of interferon alpha to the cell surface. To understand the specific cytoplasmic activation of proteins that move to the nucleus and direct increased transcription of specific genes, we have purified and now report completion of the cloning of cDNA encoding the four proteins of ISGF-3. With all of the sequences available, it is clear that three of these proteins are encoded by members of a previously unrecognized gene family. We suggest that proteins encoded by this gene family serve the function of interpreting the fact that a cell surface receptor has bound its ligand so that specific signal transduction to the nucleus can occur.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
