Who regulates whom: ZNF341 is an additional player in the STAT3/TH17 song

Avery August. Sci Immunol. .

Abstract

Deficiency of ZNF341, a transcription factor featuring 12 Cys2His2 zinc fingers that regulates the expression and autoinduction of STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3), results in hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome and defective T helper 17 cell differentiation in humans.

A) Th17 differentiation requires TCR signals (not shown) along with cytokines IL-6, TGF-β, and/or IL-1β. Signaling through the IL-6 receptor triggers activation of JAK2, which phosphorylates STAT3, driving its dimerization and nuclear localization. STAT3 cooperates with other transcription factors such as SMADs to drive expression of critical genes required for Th17 differentiation. ZNF341 regulates STAT3 expression and its autoinduction during Th17 differentiation. (B) Key structural motifs within ZNF341 and the location of mutations in HIES patients identified by Beziat et al and Frey-Jacobs et al,.
