Abstract excerpt
The erythropoietin (EPO) receptor (EPO-R), a member of a large cytokine receptor superfamily, has a 236-amino-acid cytoplasmic region which contains no obvious tyrosine kinase or other catalytic domain. In order to delineate the linear functional domains of the cytoplasmic tail, we generated truncated mutant cDNAs which were transfected into a murine interleukin-3-dependent cell line, Ba/F3, and the EPO-dependent...
