The Runx1/AML1 transcription factor is required for the generation of hematopoietic stem cells and is one of the most frequently targeted genes in human leukemia. Runx1-deficient mice die around embryonic day (E)12.5 due to severe hemorrhage in the central nervous system and the complete absence of definitive hematopoietic cells. Since mice lacking the heterodimeric partner of Runx1, PEBP2beta/CBFbeta, are almost...
