Abstract Text

Mutations in the juxtamembrane and kinase domains of FLT3 are common in AML, but it is not known whether alterations outside these regions contribute to leukemogenesis. We used a high-throughput platform to interrogate the entire FLT3 coding sequence in AML patients without known FLT3 mutations and experimentally tested the consequences of each candidate leukemogenic allele. This approach identified gain-of-function mutations that activated downstream signaling and conferred sensitivity to FLT3 inhibition and alleles that were not associated with kinase activation, including mutations in the catalytic domain. These findings support the concept that acquired mutations in cancer may not contribute to malignant transformation and underscore the importance of functional studies to distinguish "driver" mutations underlying tumorigenesis from biologically neutral "passenger" alterations.

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
FLT3	T167A	missense	no effect - predicted	FLT3 T167A lies within the extracellular domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). T167A does not result in Il-3 independent growth of cultured cells (PMID: 18068628), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function.
FLT3	V194M	missense	no effect - predicted	FLT3 V194M lies within the extracellular domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). V194M does not result in Il-3 independent growth of cultured cells (PMID: 18068628), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function.
FLT3	Y364H	missense	no effect - predicted	FLT3 Y364H lies within the extracellular domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). Y364H does not result in Il-3 independent growth in cultured cells (PMID: 18068628), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function.
FLT3	S451F	missense	gain of function	FLT3 S451F lies within the extracellular domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). S541F results in constitutive phosphorylation of Flt3, activation of Erk signaling, and is transforming in culture (PMID: 18068628).
FLT3	V557I	missense	unknown	FLT3 V557I lies within the transmembrane domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). V557I has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 18068628), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Flt3 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2024).
FLT3	Y572C	missense	gain of function	FLT3 Y572C lies within the cytoplasmic domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). Y572C results in constitutive phosphorylation of Flt3, activation of Erk, Akt and Stat signaling, and is transforming in cell culture (PMID: 18068628, PMID: 30651561).
FLT3	V592G	missense	gain of function	FLT3 V592G lies within a region important for maintaining kinase activity in the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). V592G results in constitutive phosphorylation of Flt3, activation of Stat3/5, Akt, and Erk signaling, and is transforming in culture (PMID: 18068628).
FLT3	R595_L601dup	duplication	gain of function	FLT3 R595_L601dup (also referred to as FLT3 L601_K602insREYEYDL) indicates the insertion of seven duplicate amino acids, arginine (R)-595 through leucine(L)-601, in the juxtamembrane domain of the Flt3 protein (PMID: 11756186). R595_L601dup results in constitutive phosphorylation of Flt3, activation of Stat5 and Erk signaling, transformation of cells in culture, and induction of myeloproliferative disorder in mouse models (PMID: 18068628, PMID: 11756186).
FLT3	M737I	missense	no effect - predicted	FLT3 M737I lies within the protein kinase domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). M737I does not result in Il-3 independent growth of cultured cells (PMID: 18068628), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function.
FLT3	G831E	missense	unknown	FLT3 G831E lies within the protein kinase domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). G831E demonstrates autophosphorylation and activation of downstream signaling at similar levels to wild-type Flt3 in culture, but is also predicted to stabilize the autoinhibitory conformation of the Flt3 protein and lead to a loss of function based on structural modeling (PMID: 18068628), and therefore, its effect on Flt3 protein function is unknown.
FLT3	R834Q	missense	gain of function	FLT3 R834Q lies within the protein kinase domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). R834Q results in constitutive phosphorylation of Flt3, activation of Erk signaling, and is transforming in culture (PMID: 18068628).
