| Research Abstract |
We previously reported that a dominant-positive activating mutation (Asn505) in the transmembrane domain (TMD) of c-MPL, which encodes the thrombopoietin receptor, caused familial essential thrombocythemia. Here, we show that the Asn505 mutation induces both autonomous dimerization of c-Mpl and signal activation in the absence of its ligand. Signal activation was preserved in a truncated mutant of Asn505 that lacked the extracellular domain of c-Mpl. We also found that the substitution of the amino acid (AA) residue at position 505 with others of strong polarity (Glu, Asp or Gln) also resulted in activated dimerization without ligand stimulation. Overall, these data show that the Asn505 mutation transduced the signal through the autonomous dimerization of the c-Mpl protein due to strong AA polarity. This finding provides a new insight into the mechanism of disease causation by mutations in the TMD of cytokine/hematopoietic receptors.
