Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are a family of cytokine-regulated transcription factors, which serve the dual role of external signal transduction and transcriptional activation. The founding member of this family, STAT1, is involved in a plethora of cellular processes, including interferondependent upregulation of various effector mechanisms in immune and nonimmune cells to control bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. In this chapter, we discuss the principles of STAT1-driven gene expression and focus on the clinical phenotypes of various human STAT1 mutations. In particular, we highlight the significance of sequence-specific DNA binding and intact nucleocytoplasmic shuttling for full transcriptional activation of interferon-driven target genes.
