Defects in ETV6 are a cause of myeloproliferative disorder chronic with eosinophilia (MPE) [MIM:131440. A hematologic disorder characterized by malignant eosinophils proliferation.

Translocation t(5;12) with PDGFRB on chromosome 5 creating an ETV6-PDGFRB fusion protein. Defects in ETV6 are a cause of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) [MIM:601626. AML is a malignant disease in which hematopoietic precursors are arrested in an early stage of development.[5] [6] [7] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving ETV6 is found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Translocation t(9;12)(p13;p13) with PAX5.ANTR2_HUMAN Defects in ANTXR2 are the cause of infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) [MIM:236490. This autosomal recessive syndrome is similar to JHF, but has an earlier onset and a more severe course. Symptoms appear at birth or within the first months of life, with painful, swollen joint contractures, osteopenia, osteoporosis and livid red hyperpigmentation over bony prominences. Patients develop multiple subcutaneous skin tumors and gingival hypertrophy. Hyaline deposits in multiple organs, recurrent infections and intractable diarrhea often lead to death within the first 2 years of life. Surviving children may suffer from severely reduced mobility due to joint contractures.[8] [9] Defects in ANTXR2 are the cause of juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) [MIM:228600. JHF is an autosomal recessive syndrome that is similar to ISH but takes a milder course. It is characterized by hyaline deposition in the dermis, multiple subcutaneous skin tumors and gingival hypertrophy, followed by progressive joint contractions, osteopenia and osteoporosis that may lead to a severe limitation of mobility.[10] [11] FunctionETV6_HUMAN Transcriptional repressor; binds to the DNA sequence 5'-CCGGAAGT-3'.ANTR2_HUMAN Necessary for cellular interactions with laminin and the extracellular matrix.[12] [13] Publication Abstract from PubMedTELSAM crystallization promises to become a revolutionary tool for the facile crystallization of proteins. TELSAM can increase the rate of crystallization and form crystals at low protein concentrations without direct contact between TELSAM polymers and, in some cases, with very minimal crystal contacts overall (Nawarathnage et al ., 2022). To further understand and characterize TELSAM-mediated crystallization, we sought to understand the requirements for the composition of the linker between TELSAM and the fused target protein. We evaluated four different linkers Ala-Ala, Ala-Val, Thr-Val, and Thr-Thr, between 1TEL and the human CMG2 vWa domain. We compared the number of successful crystallization conditions, the number of crystals, the average and best diffraction resolution, and the refinement parameters for the above constructs. We also tested the effect of the fusion protein SUMO on crystallization. We discovered that rigidification of the linker improved diffraction resolution, likely by decreasing the number of possible orientations of the vWa domains in the crystal, and that omitting the SUMO domain from the construct also improved the diffraction resolution. SYNOPSIS: We demonstrate that the TELSAM protein crystallization chaperone can enable facile protein crystallization and high-resolution structure determination. We provide evidence to support the use of short but flexible linkers between TELSAM and the protein of interest and to support the avoidance of cleavable purification tags in TELSAM-fusion constructs. Decreasing the flexibility of the TELSAM-target protein linker and omitting the cleavable fusion tag improves crystal order and diffraction limits.,Gajjar PL, Romo MJP, Litchfield CM, Callahan M, Redd N, Nawarathnage S, Soleimani S, Averett J, Wilson E, Lewis A, Stewart C, Tseng YJ, Doukov T, Lebedev A, Moody JD bioRxiv. 2023 May 15:2023.05.12.540586. doi: 10.1101/2023.05.12.540586.
