The IL-4R induces proliferation and gene expression through the use of conserved tyrosine residues located in growth and gene regulation domains, respectively. We demonstrate that residues surrounding these conserved tyrosines (juxtatyrosine residues) are essential for the proper activation of the signaling molecules IRS-2 and Stat6, as well as for IL-4-induced gene expression. Further, we found that the IL-4R gene regulation domain (amino acids 557-657) contains a tyrosine-based sequence (EAGYKAF) that can convey Stat6 DNA binding and gene expression activities to a minimally active IL-4R mutant, delta 557. Thus, this tyrosine-based sequence can function as a mobile Stat6 activation cassette. However, mutants bearing this sequence induced CD23 expression much less efficiently than did wild-type IL-4R, requiring 150-fold more IL-4 to reach maximal CD23 expression. Our results indicate the importance of juxtatyrosine residues in IL-4R signaling and argue for an essential role of extended domain structure in the recognition and function of juxtatyrosine sequences.
