Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the fusion gene promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor-alpha (PML-RARA) and is conventionally treated with arsenic trioxide (ATO). ATO binds directly to the RING finger, B-box, coiled-coil (RBCC) domain of PML and initiates degradation of the fusion oncoprotein PML-RARA. However, the mutational hotspot at C212-S220 disrupts ATO binding, leading to drug...
