"In contrast, binding this free ISG15, USP18 suppresses JAK-STAT signaling further counteracting IFN signaling.By better understanding the ISG15 pathway, it may be possible to target certain illnesses on a case-by-case basis without the need for general activation of IFN signaling with its hundreds of downstream targets."

"Recent data by Zhang and coworkers ( Malakhova et al ., 2006 ) revealed , however , that USP18 attenuates JAK-STAT signaling , and thereby the type 1 IFN response , in a non-enzymatic manner , i.e ., by directly competing with JAK1 for binding to the IFNAR2 subunit of the type 1 IFN receptor ."
