BioPAX pathway converted from "IL15:IL15RA binds IL2RB:JAK1 and IL2RG:JAK3" in the Reactome database.LEFT-TO-RIGHTIL15:IL15RA binds IL2RB:JAK1 and IL2RG:JAK3The Interleukin-15 (IL15) / Interleukin-15 receptor subunit alpha (IL15RA, IL15Rα) complex binds Interleukin-2 receptor subunit beta (IL2RB, IL2Rβ), which is associated with Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1 (JAK1) and Cytokine receptor common subunit gamma (IL2RG, IL2Rγ), which is associated with Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK3 (JAK3) (Johnston et al. 1995). The heterodimer of IL2RB and IL2RG can bind IL15 with low affinity but high affinity binding requires a third component, IL15RA (Giri et al. 1994, 1995, Anderson et al. 1995). This is a Black Box Event because it is not clear whether the beta and gamma subunits pre-associate before binding IL15:IL15RA.Authored: Jupe, Steve, 2014-06-04Reviewed: Meldal, Birgit, 2016-01-28Reviewed: Patidar, Manoj, 2017-08-07Edited: Jupe, Steve, 2016-01-28Edited: Duenas, Corina, 2017-08-09IL2RG:JAK3Reactome DB_ID: 451911plasma membraneGENE ONTOLOGYGO:0005886JAK3Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK3JAK3_HUMANJanus kinase 3Reactome DB_ID: 451893cytosolGENE ONTOLOGYGO:0005829UniProt:P52333 JAK3JAK3FUNCTION Non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in various processes such as cell growth, development, or differentiation. Mediates essential signaling events in both innate and adaptive immunity and plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis during T-cells development. In the cytoplasm, plays a pivotal role in signal transduction via its association with type I receptors sharing the common subunit gamma such as IL2R, IL4R, IL7R, IL9R, IL15R and IL21R. Following ligand binding to cell surface receptors, phosphorylates specific tyrosine residues on the cytoplasmic tails of the receptor, creating docking sites for STATs proteins. Subsequently, phosphorylates the STATs proteins once they are recruited to the receptor. Phosphorylated STATs then form homodimer or heterodimers and translocate to the nucleus to activate gene transcription. For example, upon IL2R activation by IL2, JAK1 and JAK3 molecules bind to IL2R beta (IL2RB) and gamma chain (IL2RG) subunits inducing the tyrosine phosphorylation of both receptor subunits on their cytoplasmic domain. Then, STAT5A AND STAT5B are recruited, phosphorylated and activated by JAK1 and JAK3. Once activated, dimerized STAT5 translocates to the nucleus and promotes the transcription of specific target genes in a cytokine-specific fashion.SUBUNIT Interacts with STAM2 and MYO18A (By similarity).
