Misguided transcriptional elongation causes mixed lineage leukemia.

Mueller D, Garcia-Cuellar MP, Bach C, Buhl S, Maethner E, Slany RK

Fusion proteins composed of the histone methyltransferase mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) and a variety of unrelated fusion partners are highly leukemogenic. Despite their prevalence, particularly in pediatric acute leukemia, many molecular details of their transforming mechanism are unknown. Here, we provide mechanistic insight into the function of MLL fusions, demonstrating that they capture a transcriptional elongation complex that has been previously ... [more]
