Abstract

Background: SAM domain-mediated polymerization is essential for ETV6-NTRK3 (EN)-induced cellular transformation. Results: Mutation of a salt bridge at the SAM polymer interface weakens SAM polymerization and abrogates EN transformation. Conclusion: Intermolecular electrostatic interactions are important for SAM domain polymerization and EN transformation. Significance: These studies provide further insights into the mechanisms by which ETV6-SAM domain mediates EN transformation.
