摘要: The TEL/PDGF beta R fusion protein is the product of t(5;12) translocation in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. an unusual a putative transcription factor, TEL, to receptor tyrosine kinase. fuses amino terminus containing helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain, transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain PDGF R. We hypothesized that self-association, mediated by HLH would lead constitutive activation kinase cellular transformation. Analysis vitro-translated TEL/ confirmed self-associated self-association was abrogated deletion 51 aa within TEL domain. In vivo, detected as 100-kDa constitutively phosphorylated on transformed murine hematopoietic cell line Ba/F3 interleukin 3 growth factor independence. Transformation cells required activity portion protein. Immunoblotting demonstrated associated multiple signaling molecules known associate activated R, including phospholipase C gamma 1, SHP2, phosphoinositol-3-kinase. novel transforming self-associates activates R-dependent pathways. Oligomerization dependent provides further evidence highly conserved among ETS family members, motif.
