Activation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) plays a critical role in normal hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis. Dawson et al. (2009; JAK2 phosphorylates histone H3Y41 and excludes HP1alpha from chromatin. Nature 461, 819-822) report that JAK2 performs this function by displacing the heterochromatin protein HP1α from chromatin through phosphorylation of histone H3.
Janus 激酶 2(JAK2)的激活在正常造血和白血病发生中起着关键作用。Dawson 等人(2009 年;JAK2 磷酸化组蛋白 H3Y41,将 HP1α 从染色质中排除。自然 461,819-822)报道说,JAK2 通过磷酸化组蛋白 H3 将异染色质蛋白 HP1α 从染色质中置换出来,从而发挥此功能。
