Abstract excerpt
Transcription factors, such as those of the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) and homeodomain classes, are primary regulators of cell fate decisions and differentiation. It is considered axiomatic that they control their respective developmental programs via direct binding to cognate DNA sequences in critical targets genes. Here we test this widely held paradigm by in vivo functional assay of the leukemia oncoprotein...
