Phosphorylation of tyrosine 693 and serine 721 is required for IL-12-induced STAT4 activation.
Expression of the S721A mutant reduced IL-12 induction of the reporter,
whereas mutation of serine 723 had no effect on STAT4-mediated transactivation.
Mutation of tyrosine 693 completely abolished IL-12???induced STAT4 transcriptional activity.
MKK6/p38, but not other MAPKs, enhance STAT4 transcriptional activity via Ser721 phosphorylation downstream of il12.
