Identification of amino acids in transmembrane domains of mutated cytokine receptor-like factor 2 and interleukin-7 receptor α required for constitutive signal transduction.

Abstract excerpt

Cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2) and interleukin-7 receptor α (IL-7Rα) form a receptor for thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). A somatic mutation consisting of the substitution of five amino acids (SLLLL) in the transmembrane domain of CRLF2 with three amino acids, including glutamic acid, isoleucine, and methionine (insEIM), which has been identified in acute lymphocytic leukemia, causes the...
