Popis: Chromosomal translocations involving the AF10 gene, especially with CALM, are associated with aggressive leukemias. Here the authors show that the PZP domain of AF10, a histone reader, is always excluded/impaired in AF10 fusions, whereas incorporation of this domain downregulates Hoxa genes and blocks leukemogenesis.
