Abstract Text

JAK1 and JAK3 are recurrently mutated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. These tyrosine kinases associate with heterodimeric cytokine receptors such as IL-7 receptor or IL-9 receptor, in which JAK1 is appended to the specific chain, and JAK3 is appended to the common gamma chain. Here, we studied the role of these receptor complexes in mediating the oncogenic activity of JAK3 mutants. Although JAK3(V674A) and the majority of other JAK3 mutants needed to bind to a functional cytokine receptor complex to constitutively activate STAT5, JAK3(L857P) was unexpectedly found to not depend on such receptor complexes for its activity, which was induced without receptor or JAK1 co-expression. Introducing a mutation in the FERM domain that abolished JAK-receptor interaction did not affect JAK3(L857P) activity, whereas it inhibited the other receptor-dependent mutants. The same cytokine receptor independence as for JAK3(L857P) was observed for homologous Leu(857) mutations of JAK1 and JAK2 and for JAK3(L875H). This different cytokine receptor requirement correlated with different functional properties in vivo and with distinct sensitivity to JAK inhibitors. Transduction of murine hematopoietic cells with JAK3(V674A) led homogenously to lymphoblastic leukemias in BALB/c mice. In contrast, transduction with JAK3(L857P) induced various types of lymphoid and myeloid leukemias. Moreover, ruxolitinib, which preferentially blocks JAK1 and JAK2, abolished the proliferation of cells transformed by the receptor-dependent JAK3(V674A), yet proved much less potent on cells expressing JAK3(L857P). These particular cells were, in contrast, more sensitive to JAK3-specific inhibitors. Altogether, our results showed that different JAK3 mutations induce constitutive activation through distinct mechanisms, pointing to specific therapeutic perspectives.

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
JAK3	E958K	missense	gain of function	JAK3 E958K lies within the protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak3 protein (UniProt.org). E958K confers a gain of function to the Jak3 protein, as demonstrated by increased cytokine receptor complex-dependent activation of Jak3 in cell culture (PMID: 26446793), activation of Stat5, and is transforming in cell culture (PMID: 26206799).
JAK3	L857P	missense	gain of function	JAK3 L857P lies within protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak3 protein (UniProt.org). L857P results in cytokine receptor complex-independent activation of Jak3, increased cell proliferation (PMID: 26446793), and cytokine-independent growth in culture (PMID: 35411095).
JAK3	L875H	missense	gain of function	JAK3 L875H lies within protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak3 protein (UniProt.org). L875H results in transforming activity (PMID: 29187379), receptor-independent Jak3 activation (PMID: 26446793), and demonstrates resistance to some JAK inhibitors in culture (PMID: 31976485).	Y
JAK3	P906S	missense	gain of function - predicted	JAK3 P906S lies within protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak3 protein (UniProt.org). P906S results in increased cytokine receptor complex-dependent activation of Jak3 in cell culture (PMID: 26446793), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of Jak3 protein function.
JAK3	T848A	missense	gain of function - predicted	JAK3 T848A lies within protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak3 protein (UniProt.org). T848A results in cytokine receptor complex-dependent activation of Jak3 in cell culture (PMID: 26446793), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of Jak3 protein function.
