Abstract excerpt
Somatic R882H DNMT3A mutations occur frequently in AML, but their pathogenic mechanism is unclear. As R882H mutations usually are heterozygous, wildtype (WT) and R882H subunits co-exist in affected cells. R882 is located in the RD interface of DNMT3A tetramers, which forms the DNA binding site. R882H causes strong changes in the flanking sequence preferences of DNMT3A. Here, we analyzed flanking sequence...
