To expand our understanding of the role of Jak2 in cellular signaling, we used the yeast two-
hybrid system to identify Jak2-interacting proteins. One of the clones identified represents a
human homologue of the Schizosaccaromyces pombe Shk1 kinase-binding protein 1, Skb1,
and the protein encoded by theSaccharomyces cerevisiae HSL7 (histone synthetic lethal 7)
gene. Since no functional motifs or biochemical activities for this protein or its homologues
had been reported, we sought to determine a biochemical function for this human protein …
