| DNA/RNA |
| Transcription | alternate splicing; 4.4 and 2.8 kb mRNA; coding sequence: 1.9 kb |
| Protein |
| Description | 621 amino acids; 68 kDa; contains a Lysin rich domain (basic motif) |
| Expression | wide; especially in leukocytes, muscle, testis, placenta |
| Localisation | nuclear, except the nucleolus |
| Function | RNA polymerase II elongation factor, promotes transcription by suppressing transient pausings. In Drosophila ELL is associated with active sites of transcription in vivo. Overexpression of ELL is toxic, suggesting the normal protein may play a role in the regulation of cell growth and survival. |
| Homology | ELL2, ELL3 |
| Implicated in |
| Note | |
| Entity | t(11.19)(q23;p13.1) /AML --> KMT2A-ELL |
| Disease | mainly M4/M5; treatment related leukemia; all ages |
| Prognosis | very poor |
| Cytogenetics | detected with R banding |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' MLL - 3' ELL |
| Abnormal Protein | Similar to other MLL fusion proteins. The amino terminal AT hook and DNA methyltransferase homology regions from from MLL are fused to most of ELL |
| Oncogenesis | The carboxyl terminal region of ELL is required for transformation by MLL-ELL in murine bone marrow transformation assays. This region has potent transcriptional activating activity, and interacts with EAF1, a protein that shares homology with AF4, LAF4, and AF5q31. Interestingly the EAF1 interacting domain, but not the ELL elongation domain is required for transformation. ELL has also been reported to interact withp53 and inhibit its transcriptional activating activity. |
