Abstract excerpt
MTG8 (RUNX1T1) is a fusion partner of AML1 (RUNX1) in the leukemic chromosome translocation t(8;21). The AML1-MTG8 fusion gene encodes a chimeric transcription factor. One of the highly conserved domains of MTG8 is TAFH which possesses homology with human TAF4 [TATA-box binding protein-associated factor]. To obtain specific inhibitors of the AML1-MTG8 fusion protein, we isolated RNA aptamers against the MTG8 TAFH...
