Abstract Text

Exclusive of membrane-proximal mutations seen commonly in chronic neutrophilic leukemia (e.g., T618I), functionally defective mutations in the extracellular domain of the G-CSF receptor (CSF3R) have been reported only in severe congenital and idiopathic neutropenia patients. Here, we describe the first activating mutation in the fibronectin-like type III domain of the extracellular region of CSF3R (W341C) in a leukemia patient. This mutation transformed cells via cysteine-mediated intermolecular disulfide bonds, leading to receptor dimerization. Interestingly, a CSF3R cytoplasmic truncation mutation (W791X) found on the same allele as the extracellular mutation and the expansion of the compound mutation was associated with increased leukocytosis and disease progression of the patient. Notably, the primary patient sample and cells transformed by W341C and W341C/W791X exhibited sensitivity to JAK inhibitors. We further showed that disruption of original cysteine pairs in the CSF3R extracellular domain resulted in either gain- or loss-of-function changes, part of which was attributable to cysteine-mediated dimer formation. This, therefore, represents the first characterization of unpaired cysteines that mediate both gain- and loss-of-function phenotypes. Overall, our results show the structural and functional importance of conserved extracellular cysteine pairs in CSF3R and suggest the necessity for broader screening of CSF3R extracellular domain in leukemia patients.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Gene	Variant	Impact	Protein Effect	Variant Description	Associated with drug Resistance
CSF3R	R308C	missense	loss of function	CSF3R R308C lies within fibronectin type-III domain 2 of the Csf3r protein (UniProt.org). R308C confers a loss of function to the Csf3r protein as demonstrated by reduced cell surface expression and impaired downstream signaling (PMID: 24753537), and decreased cell viability (PMID: 28652245) in response to G-CSF stimulation in culture.
CSF3R	W341C	missense	gain of function	CSF3R W341C lies within fibronectin type-III domain 3 of the Csf3r protein (UniProt.org). W341C confers a gain of function to the Csf3r protein as demonstrated by increased receptor dimerization, elevated Stat5, Jak2 and Erk activation, and transformation in cultured cells (PMID: 28652245).
