Abstract:Much of our understanding of the pathology of acute leukemias is based on studies of 11q23 chromosomal translocations of the gene encoding the mixed lineage leukemia-1 (MLL1) histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase. Translocations of the MLL1 gene result in MLL1-fusion (MLL1F) proteins that replace the catalytic SET domain with 1 of more than 80 fusion partners that are thought to drive leukemogenesis through a gain-of-function mechanism. However, this mechanism does not explain how loss of the catalytic … Show more
