Desciption
The AML1 gene is rearranged by the t(8;21) translocation in acute myeloid leukemia [1]. The gene is highly similar to the Drosophila melanogaster segmentation gene runt and to the mouse transcription factor PEBP2 alpha subunit gene [1]. The region of shared similarity, known as the Runt domain, is responsible for DNA-binding and protein-protein interaction.In addition to the highly-conserved Runt domain, the AML-1 gene product carries a putative ATP-binding site (GRSGRGKS), and has a C-terminal region rich in proline and serine residues. The protein (known as acute myeloid leukemia 1 protein, oncogene AML-1, core-binding factor (CBF), alpha-B subunit, etc.) binds to the core site, 5'-pygpyggt-3', of a number of enhancers and promoters.
