PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • conserved region of about 70 AAs in the N-terminal domains of SOCS4 and 5 that is predicted to be more ordered than the surrounding sequence
  • N-terminal region of SOCS5 coordinates critical protein interactions involved in inhibition of JAK/STAT signaling, and a conserved region within the N-terminus of SOCS5 mediates direct binding to the JAK kinase domain
  • solitary central Src homology SH2 domain
  • a C terminal SOCS, CIS (CH domain) sequence
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Socs5 (suppressor of cytokine signaling protein 5)
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • suppressor of cytokine signaling family (SOCS)
  • STAT inducer STAT inhibitory protein family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , signaling cytokine
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    basic FUNCTION
  • inhibiting cytokine signaling
  • regulating protein turnover, targeting proteins to proteasome mediated degradation
  • potential negative regulator of epidermal growth factor signaling
  • involved in epidermal growth factor-mediated signaling pathways (Kario 2005)
  • different domains in SOCS5 contribute likely to two distinct mechanisms for regulation of cytokine and growth factor signaling
  • SOCS5 mediates the impaired function of Dendritic cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    protein, degradation

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • JAK kinases
  • activated cytokine receptors
  • SOCS5 can directly inhibit JAK1 kinase activity, although its mechanism of action appears distinct from that of SOCS1 and SOCS3
  • can negatively regulate both JAK/STAT and EGF-receptor pathways and has therefore been implicated in regulating both the immune response and tumorigenesis
  • cell & other
