We analyzed molecular functions of Samd9/ Samd9L, genes isolated as candidate responsible genes for MDS/ AML carrying monosomy 7/ 7q-. Samd9L protein was found to be partially localized at early endosomal fraction. In Samd9L-downregulated cells, the inhibition of fusion of early endosomes, which resulted in the accumulation of activated cytokine receptors in early endosomal fraction, caused prolongation of cytokine signals. Collectively, it became relevant that Samd9L negatively regulates cytokine signals through the promotion of the degradation of cytokine receptors by facilitating the fusion of early endosomes.
