Cbl-mediated K63-linked ubiquitination of JAK2 enhances JAK2 phosphorylation and signal transduction

Abstract JAK2 activation is crucial for cytokine receptor signal transduction and leukemogenesis. However, the underlying processes that lead to full activation of JAK2 are unclear. Here, we report a positive role for ubiquitination of JAK2 during GM-CSF-induced activation. Upon GM-CSF stimulation,...
