Effects of clinically relevant MPL mutations in the transmembrane domain revealed at the atomic level through computational modeling.
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the thrombopoietin receptor (MPL) may activate relevant pathways and lead to chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). The mechanisms of MPL activation remain elusive because of a lack of experimental structures. Modern computational biology techniques were utilized to ex...
