Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a member of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, which are essential for proper signaling in immune responses and development. Here we present a 2.0-Å-resolution crystal structure of a receptor-binding fragment of human TYK2, encompassing the FERM and SH2 domains, in complex with a so-called 'box2'-containing intracellular peptide motif from the interferon-α receptor chain 1 (IFNAR1). The TYK2-IFNAR1 interface reveals an unexpected receptor-b ...[more]
