Mechanisms of MIF signal transduction. Paracrine/autocrine extracellular MIF or endogenously produced cytosolic MIF functionally interacts with cytosolic Jab1/CSN5 resulting in differential cullin-ring ligase (CRL) substrate proteasomal degradation and/or c-Jun phosphorylation/AP-1 activation. Extracellular MIF independently interacts with CD74 in hetero-complex with CD44, CXCR2, CXCR4, and/or CXCR7 to initiate downstream MAPK and/or PI3K pathway effectors.
