| Description | TRIM24 encodes a nuclear protein, transcription intermediary factor 1a displaying an RBCC motif (RING finger, B-BOX, and coiled-coil domains, also called tripartite motif, TRIM) in its N-terminus and PHD and bromo domains at the C-terminus. The following is a scheme (not drawn to scale) of the protein and its domains. |
| Expression | ubiquitously and early in development, but also in many adult tissues |
| Localisation | The protein localizes to the nucleus (nuclear bodies). |
| Function | Transcriptional regulator of nuclear receptors, including retinoic acid, thyroid, vitamin D3, and estrogen receptors; participates in multiprotein complexes; interacts with numerous proteins involved in chromatin structure; recruitment of TRIM24 to specific sites in the genome would ensure the localization of initiating RNA polII, and of chromatin remodeling complexes; may function through modulation of chromatin states (regulator of higher order chromatin structures, in order to promote silencing on euchromatic genes); TRIM24 has been demonstrated to possess an intrinsic transcriptional silencing activity which requires histone deacetylation; interacts directly with members of the heterochromatin protein 1 family. May be a key regulator of developmental and physiological processes. |

| Entity | t(7;8)(q34;p11) in leukemia --> TRIM24 - FGFR1 |
| Disease | acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS). |
| Cytogenetics | t(7;8)(q34;p11) |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | TRIM24-FGFR1; FGFR1-TRIM24 |
| Abnormal Protein | The 2 predicted fusion proteins are organized as follows: TRIM24-FGFR1 contains the RING, BBOX and BBC domains from TRIM24 and the TK domain from FGFR1; FGFR1-TRIM24 contains the signal peptide along with the 3 IG-LIKE and transmembrane domains from FGFR1 and the PHD with the BROMO domains from TRIM24. |

| Entity | t(7;10)(q34;q11) in papillary thyroid carcinoma: --> TRIM24 - RET |
| Disease | Found in one case of papillary thyroid carcinoma, in a child (a boy aged 4 yrs) exposed to radioactive fallout after the Chernobyl reactor accident (note: children exposed to Chernobyl radioactive fallout frequently developped papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and a very high prevalence of RET rearrangements was found in these childhood PTC, compared to PTC of adults). |
| Abnormal Protein | Fusion of the 5' end of TRIM24 including the RBCC (RING finger, B-BOX, and coiled-coil domains) motif to the 3' end of RET including the tyrosine kinase domain (and loosing the ligand binding and transmembrane domains of RET). |
| Oncogenesis | The fusion protein could form dimers (via the coiled coil domain) and show constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation? |
