A characteristic feature of EMS is the presence of fusion proteins that contain the kinase domain of FGFR1 and the oligomerization domain of an unrelated protein. This is believed to promote the ligand independent dimerization and activation of the kinase domain. To date, there are 11 identified partners that form fusion proteins with FGFR1 in EMS: ZMYM2 (Xiao, 1998; Popovici, 1998; Reiter, 1998; Ollendorff, 1999; Xiao, 2000), FGFR1OP1 (Popovici, 1999), CNTRL (Guasch, 2000), BCR (Demiroglu, 2001), FGFR1OP2 (Grand, 2004), TRIM24 (Belloni, 2005), CUX1 (Wasag, 2011), MYO18A (Walz, 2005), CPSF6 (Hidalgo-Curtis, 2008), HERV-K (Guasch, 2003) and LRRFIP1 (Soler, 2009). | lld:biopax3 |
