Fusion tyrosine kinase mediated signalling pathways in the transformation of haematopoietic cells.
Leukemia - 1 Apr 2006
Turner S D, Alexander D R
Abstract excerpt
The fusion tyrosine kinases (FTKs) are generated by chromosomal translocations creating bipartite proteins in which the kinase is hyperactivated by an adjoining oligomerization domain. Autophosphorylation of the FTK generates a 'signalosome', an ensemble of signalling proteins that transduce signals to downstream pathways. At the earliest stages of oncogenesis, FTKs can mimic mitogenic cytokine signalling...
