JAK kinases become activated after ligand binding and

receptor dimerization

Ligand binding triggers a conformational change in the JAKs & they phosphorylate each other on a critical tyrosine in the activation loop which greatly enhances kinase activity

The SH2 domain binds strongly to short target peptides containing a critical four-residue core sequence:: 

phosphotyrosine–glutamic acid–glutamic acid–isoleucine
