The mll-AF9 gene fusion in mice controls myeloproliferation and specifies acute myeloid leukaemogenesisC L Dobson
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Division of Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry, Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 2QH, UK
EMBO J 18:3564-74. 1999..Thus, the late onset of overt tumours suggests that secondary tumorigenic mutations are necessary for malignancy associated with MLL-AF9 gene fusion and that myeloproliferation provides the pool of cells in which such events can occur...
Null mutation of the Lmo4 gene or a combined null mutation of the Lmo1/Lmo3 genes causes perinatal lethality, and Lmo4 controls neural tube development in miceE Tse
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge CB2 2QH, United Kingdom
Mol Cell Biol 24:2063-73. 2004..Our results complete the gene targeting of the LIM-only family in mice and suggest that all four members of this family are important in regulators of distinct developmental pathways...
The leukemia-associated AML1 (Runx1)--CBF beta complex functions as a DNA-induced molecular clampJ Bravo
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH, UK
Nat Struct Biol 8:371-8. 2001..The structure clearly explains the molecular basis for the loss of DNA binding function of the Runt domain--CBF beta complex as a consequence of the human disease-associated mutations in leukemogenesis and cleidocranial dysplasia...
An Mll-AF9 fusion gene made by homologous recombination causes acute leukemia in chimeric mice: a method to create fusion oncogenesJ Corral
Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Cell 85:853-61. 1996..This novel use of homologous recombination formally proves that chromosomal translocations contribute to malignancy and provides a general strategy to create fusion oncogenes for studying their role in tumorigenesis...
Tumorigenesis in mice with a fusion of the leukaemia oncogene Mll and the bacterial lacZ geneC L Dobson
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Division of Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH, UK
EMBO J 19:843-51. 2000..Thus, truncation and fusion of MLL can be sufficient for tumorigenesis, regardless of the fusion partner...
The LIM protein RBTN2 and the basic helix-loop-helix protein TAL1 are present in a complex in erythroid cellsV E Valge-Archer
Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 91:8617-21. 1994..Further, since both proteins can be involved in leukemogenesis, these data provide a direct link between proteins activated by chromosomal translocations in T-cell acute leukemia...
The oncogenic cysteine-rich LIM domain protein rbtn2 is essential for erythroid developmentA J Warren
Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, England
Cell 78:45-57. 1994..This shows a pivotal role for a LIM domain protein in lineage specification during mammalian development and suggests that RBTN2 and GATA-1 are critical at similar stages of erythroid differentiation...
The T cell leukemia LIM protein Lmo2 is necessary for adult mouse hematopoiesisY Yamada
Medical Research Council, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH, United Kingdom
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 95:3890-5. 1998..Thus, Lmo2 is necessary for early stages of hematopoiesis, and the Lmo2 master gene encodes a protein that has a central and crucial role in the hematopoietic development...
The Hox11 gene is essential for cell survival during spleen developmentT N Dear
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK
Development 121:2909-15. 1995..This function for hox11 suggests that enhanced cell survival may result from the t(10;14) which activates HOX11 in T cell leukaemias, further strengthening the association between oncogene-induced cell survival and tumorigenesis...
Mutagenesis of the Runt domain defines two energetic hot spots for heterodimerization with the core binding factor beta subunitLina Zhang
Department of Biochemistry, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
J Biol Chem 278:33097-104. 2003..The importance of the hot spot residues for Runx1 function was demonstrated in in vivo transient transfection assays. These data refine the structural analyses and further our understanding of the Runx1-CBF beta interface...

Department of Human Genetics, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1824 6th Avenue South, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA
Mol Cell Biol 22:5506-17. 2002..This suggests that the principal contribution of AML1-ETO to acute myeloid leukemia is the inhibition of multiple developmental pathways...
