Structural mechanisms of SAMD9 autoinhibition and pathogenic dysregulation
SAMD9 and SAMD9L (SAMD9/9L) are large cytosolic proteins essential for hematopoietic homeostasis and antiviral defense (1–3). Germline gain-of-function (GoF) mutations in SAMD9/9L cause severe multisystem disorders and predispose to leukemia, but the mechanisms that regulate SAMD9/9L activity and how pathogenic mutatio...
