Model for regulation of ASK1 by JAK2 kinase and SHP2 phosphatase. In
resting or IFN-γ-treated EC, JAK2 phosphorylates ASK1 at Tyr(P)-718,
which enhances the interaction between SOCS1 and ASK1, leading to ASK1
proteasomal degradation. In contrast, SHP2, an SH2 domain-containing tyrosine
phosphatase that can be activated by TNF, dephosphorylates ASK1 at Tyr-718 and
dissociates ASK1 from SOCS1, stabilizing ASK1 and activating ASK1-JNK
apoptotic pathway in EC. Ub, ubiquitin.
