Proteomic identification of oncogenic chromosomal translocation partners encoding chimeric anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion proteins
1 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) on 2p23 is a tyrosine kinase that forms chimeric fusions with numerous translocation partners. We describe a mass spectrometry-based approach for the identification of ALK fusion partners. This approach accurately identified the nucleophosmin (NPM)-ALK fusion protein in an anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL)-derived cell line carrying the t(2;5)(p23;q35), and the TPM3-ALK in...
