'''Crystal Structure of FLT3'''<br />
'''Crystal Structure of FLT3'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
FLT3 is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase that is thought to play a key, role in hematopoiesis. Certain classes of FLT3 mutations cause, constitutively activated forms of the receptor that are found in, significant numbers of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The, mutations occur either in the activation loop, for example, as point, mutations of Asp835 or as internal tandem duplication (ITD) sequences in, the juxtamembrane (JM) domain. To further understand the nature of FLT3, autoinhibition and regulation, we have determined the crystal structure of, the autoinhibited form of FLT3. This structure shows the autoinhibitory, conformation of a complete JM domain in this class of receptor tyrosine, kinases. The detailed inhibitory mechanism of the JM domain is revealed, which is likely utilized by other members of type III receptor tyrosine, kinases.
