Abstrakt: GATA1 is a highly conserved hematopoietic transcription factor (TF), essential for normal erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis, that encodes a full-length, predominant isoform and an amino (N) terminus-truncated isoform GATA1s. It is consistently expressed throughout megakaryocyte development and interacts with its target genes either independently or in association with binding partners such as FOG1 (friend of GATA1). While the N-terminus and zinc finger have classically been demonstrated to be necessary for the normal regulation of platelet-specific genes, murine models, cell-line studies, and human case reports indicate that the carboxy-terminal activation domain and zinc finger also play key roles in precisely controlling megakaryocyte growth, proliferation, and maturation. Murine models have shown that disruptions to GATA1 increase the proliferation of immature megakaryocytes with abnormal architecture and impaired terminal differentiation into platelets. In humans, germline GATA1 mutations result in variable cytopenias, including macrothrombocytopenia with abnormal platelet aggregation and excessive bleeding tendencies, while acquired GATA1s mutations in individuals with trisomy 21 (T21) result in transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) and myeloid leukemia of Down syndrome (ML-DS) arising from a megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor (MEP). Taken together, GATA1 plays a key role in regulating megakaryocyte differentiation, maturation, and proliferative capacity. As sequencing and proteomic technologies expand, additional GATA1 mutations and regulatory mechanisms contributing to human diseases of megakaryocytes and platelets are likely to be revealed.
