Abstract excerpt
JAK2 (Janus tyrosine kinase 2) is important for signalling through many cytokine receptors, and a gain-of-function JAK2 mutation in its pseudokinase domain, V617F, has been implicated in Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. How this mutation hyperactivates JAK2 is poorly understood. In the present paper we report our findings that the V617F mutation has little effect on the Vmax of JAK2...
