Abstract excerpt
The TAL1 gene is transcriptionally activated by chromosomal translocation in the most common genetic lesion associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. TAL1 encodes a bHLH protein that exhibits sequence-specific DNA binding activity when it forms dimers with another bHLH protein such as E2A. We show that ectopic expression of TAL1 blocks the ability of the bHLH gene myogenin to induce myotube...
