An Unusual Insertion in Jak2 Is Crucial for Kinase Activity and Differentially Affects Cytokine Responses
20 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The Janus kinases, Jaks, constitutively associate with the cytoplasmic region of cytokine receptors and play an important role in a multitude of biological processes. Jak2 dysfunction has been implicated in myeloproliferative diseases and leukemia. Although Jaks were studied extensively for many years, the molecular mechanism of Jak activation upon cytokine stimulation of cells is still incompletely understood....
