Internal tandem duplications in the FLT3 receptor gene (FLT3-ITD) are found in approximately 30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This oncogene influences various functions of the AML cell and leads to uncontrolled proliferation. Clinically, FLT3-ITD is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with AML. In this study, the influence of FLT3-ITD on the phosphatase CDC25C, which as a cell cycle regulator significantly influences the control of cell division, was investigated. The experiments described here showed that CDC25C is phosphorylated by FLT3-ITD and activated in an...
