Post-translational modifications of Runx1 regulate its activity in the cell

Blood Cells Mol Dis. 2009 Jul-Aug;43(1):30-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bcmd.2009.03.005. Epub 2009 Apr 21.

Abstract

In this report we review the current knowledge of the interaction of RUNX1(AML1) with serine/threonine kinases, lysine and arginine methyltransferases, lysine acetyltransferases, and histone deacetylases. We also discuss the effect of RUNX1-ETO fusion gene on DNA methylation. RUNX1 post-transcriptional modification can affect its role in influencing differentiation and self-renewal of hematopoietic cells. The goal of these studies is to develop targets for improved leukemia therapy.
