"Mapping the STAT2 and USP18 binding to IFNAR2 by cell micropatterning of further deletions and mutations ( xref ) confirmed aa 418-444 of IFNAR2 as a minimal interaction site for STAT2 and USP18."

sparser
"Based on our previous report xref and the results presented above, USP18 interacts with both IFNAR2 and STAT2."

sparser
"Binding of STAT2 and USP18 to IFNAR2 is synergistic, in line with the previous observation that the STAT2-IFNAR2 interaction was strengthened by USP18 xref ."

sparser
"USP18 also interacts with IFNAR2 and STAT2 to block type I interferon signalling in a protease-independent manner."

sparser
"These results established that USP18 independently interacts with IFNAR2 and STAT2."

sparser
"USP18 binds STAT2 and IFNAR2, displacing JAK1 from the cytoplasmic domain of IFNAR2 and inducing a conformational change in the IFN-IFNAR1-IFNAR2 complex, leading to impaired signal transduction (left)."

sparser
"The reported interactions between USP18 and IFNAR2 as well as STAT2 remain to be characterised biochemically and structurally."

sparser
"More detailed analysis of the interaction dynamics of the STAT2IFNAR2 interaction in the presence of USP18 by FRAP ( xref ) revealed a dissociation rate constant of 0.015 ± 0.005 s −1 ."

sparser
"We next examined IFNAR2-independent interaction of STAT2 and USP18 in IFNAR2-deficient U5A cells by using cell micropatterning."

sparser
"Taken together, our data suggest that USP18 simultaneously interacts with IFNAR2 via STAT2 in the membrane distal region and directly in the membrane-proximal region ( xref )."
