Abstract excerpt
The mixed lineage leukemia protein MLL1 contains four highly conserved plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers, which are invariably deleted in oncogenic MLL1 fusion proteins in human leukemia. Here we show that the second PHD finger (PHD2) of MLL1 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase in the presence of the E2-conjugating enzyme CDC34. This activity is conserved in the second PHD finger of MLL4, the closest homolog to MLL1 but not...
