Functional Heterogeneity of PAX5 Chimeras Reveals Insight for Leukemia Development
16 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: PAX5, a transcription factor pivotal for B-cell commitment and maintenance, is one of the most frequent targets of somatic mutations in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A number of PAX5 rearrangements result in the expression of in-frame fusion genes encoding chimeric proteins, which at the N-terminus consistently retain the PAX5 DNA-binding paired domain fused to the C-terminal domains...
