Structure of a Janus kinase cytokine receptor complex reveals the basis for dimeric activation. [PDF]
Cytokines signal through cell surface receptor dimers to initiate activation of intracellular Janus kinases (JAKs). We report the 3.6-angstrom–resolution cryo–electron microscopy structure of full-length JAK1 complexed with a cytokine receptor ...

Modular cytokine receptor-targeting chimeras for targeted degradation of cell surface and extracellular proteins. [PDF]
Targeted degradation of cell surface and extracellular proteins via lysosomal delivery is an important means to modulate extracellular biology. However, these approaches have limitations due to lack of modularity, ease of development, restricted tissue ...

Cytokine Receptor-Like Factor 3 (CRLF3) Contributes to Early Zebrafish Hematopoiesis [PDF]
Cytokine receptor-like factor 3 (CRLF3) is an ancient protein conserved across metazoans that contains an archetypal cytokine receptor homology domain (CHD).

Mechanism of homodimeric cytokine receptor activation and dysregulation by oncogenic mutations. [PDF]
Activated by interaction Cytokines trigger immune responses when they bind to their cognate receptors. Class I cytokine receptors rely on the associated Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) to initiate signal transduction.

In Situ Identification of Both IL-4 and IL-10 Cytokine–Receptor Interactions during Tissue Regeneration [PDF]
Cytokines secreted by individual immune cells regulate tissue regeneration and allow communication between various cell types. Cytokines bind to cognate receptors and trigger the healing process.

Kinetics of cytokine receptor trafficking determine signaling and functional selectivity. [PDF]
Cytokines activate downstream signaling networks via assembly of cell surface receptors, but it is unclear whether modulation of cytokine-receptor binding parameters can modify biological outcomes.

Cytokine-Leukotriene Receptor Interactions [PDF]
Biochemical and pharmacological studies have identified the structure of leukotrienes, the pathways that lead to their synthesis, and the signaling events they trigger when they interact with their cognate receptors.
