[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/JAK2_HUMAN JAK2_HUMAN] Non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in various processes such as cell growth, development, differentiation or histone modifications. Mediates essential signaling events in both innate and adaptive immunity. In the cytoplasm, plays a pivotal role in signal transduction via its association with type I receptors such as growth hormone (GHR), prolactin (PRLR), leptin (LEPR), erythropoietin (EPOR), thrombopoietin (THPO); or type II receptors including IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IFN-gamma and multiple interleukins. 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, cell stimulation with erythropoietin (EPO) during erythropoiesis leads to JAK2 autophosphorylation, activation, and its association with erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) that becomes phosphorylated in its cytoplasmic domain. Then, STAT5 (STAT5A or STAT5B) is recruited, phosphorylated and activated by JAK2. Once activated, dimerized STAT5 translocates into the nucleus and promotes the transcription of several essential genes involved in the modulation of erythropoiesis. In addition, JAK2 mediates angiotensin-2-induced ARHGEF1 phosphorylation. Plays a role in cell cycle by phosphorylating CDKN1B. Cooperates with TEC through reciprocal phosphorylation to mediate cytokine-driven activation of FOS transcription. In the nucleus, plays a key role in chromatin by specifically mediating phosphorylation of 'Tyr-41' of histone H3 (H3Y41ph), a specific tag that promotes exclusion of CBX5 (HP1 alpha) from chromatin.<ref>PMID:12023369</ref> <ref>PMID:19783980</ref> <ref>PMID:20098430</ref> <ref>PMID:21423214</ref> | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/JAK2_HUMAN JAK2_HUMAN] Non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in various processes such as cell growth, development, differentiation or histone modifications.

| + | Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) plays a critical role in orchestrating hematopoiesis, and its deregulation leads to various blood disorders, most importantly myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Ruxolitinib, fedratinib, momelotinib, and pacritinib are FDA-/EMA-approved JAK inhibitors effective in relieving symptoms in MPN patients but show variable clinical profiles due to poor JAK selectivity. The development of next-generation JAK2 inhibitors is hampered by the lack of comparative functional analysis and knowledge of the molecular basis of their selectivity. Here, we provide mechanistic profiling of the four approved and six clinical-stage JAK2 inhibitors and connect selectivity data with high-resolution structural and thermodynamic analyses. All of the JAK inhibitors potently inhibited JAK2 activity. Inhibitors differed in their JAK isoform selectivity and potency for erythropoietin signaling, but their general cytokine inhibition signatures in blood cells were comparable. Structural data indicate that high potency and moderate JAK2 selectivity can be obtained by targeting the front pocket of the adenosine 5'-triphosphate-binding site. | ||
