Abstract excerpt
In an N-nitroso-N-ethylurea (ENU) mutagenesis screen using Mpl(-/-) mice, we isolated a semidominant suppressor of thrombocytopenia, termed Plt6. The gene mutated in Plt6 mice encodes the transcriptional coregulator p300, and the mutation, a tyrosine to asparagine substitution at amino acid 630 (Y630N), disrupts the interaction between p300 and c-Myb. Mpl(-/-) p300(Plt6/+) mice displayed elevated platelet counts...
