Following phosphorylation, STAT1 detaches from the receptor. This dissociation allows STAT1 to undergo further structural changes necessary for its role in signaling.

Once dissociated, STAT1 undergoes dimerization. This process occurs through reciprocal SH2-phosphotyrosine interactions, forming a stable dimer that is ready for downstream signaling.

STAT1 interacts with phosphorylated Tyr-440 via its SH2 domain. This binding is crucial for the subsequent phosphorylation process.

The dimerized STAT1 then binds to IFN-inducible promoters. This binding is specific and crucial for the regulation of interferon-responsive genes.

When STAT1 binds to phosphorylated Tyr-440, its Tyr-701 residue becomes available for phosphorylation by JAKs. This phosphorylation event is essential for STAT1's activation.
