Cloning of an <i>Alpha-TFEB</i> fusion in renal tumors harboring the t(6;11)(p21;q13) chromosome translocation
28 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
MITF, TFE3, TFEB, and TFEC comprise a transcription factor family (MiT) that regulates key developmental pathways in several cell lineages. Like MYC, MiT members are basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper transcription factors. MiT members share virtually perfect homology in their DNA binding domains and bind a common DNA motif. Translocations of TFE3 occur in specific subsets of human renal cell carcinomas and in...
