Mutagenesis of the Runt Domain Defines Two Energetic Hot Spots for Heterodimerization with the Core Binding Factor β Subunit
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Core-binding factors (CBFs) are a small family of heterodimeric transcription factors that play critical roles in several developmental pathways and in human disease. Mutations in CBF genes are found in leukemias, bone disorders, and gastric cancers. CBFs consist of a DNA-binding CBF alpha subunit (Runx1, Runx2, or Runx3) and a non-DNA-binding CBF beta subunit. CBF alpha binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner,...
