DNA/RNA

Atlas Image

Description

5 exons, with a CpG island in 5 of the gene

Transcription

the major transcript is the longest transcript: (5941 bp); other transcripts of 3.8 kb and 1.5 kb; alternate splices in exon 4

Proteins

Atlas Image

Description

835 amino acids, predicted molecular weight of 91.3 kDa for the longest isoform, called BCL11AXL, with 6 Kruppel C2H2 zinc fingers, a prolin rich domain, and an acidic domain; 773 and 243 amino acids for the BCL11AL and the BCL11AS respectively

Expression

expressed in the fetal brain; low level or undetectable expression in most adult tissues, apart from lymph nodes, thymus, and bone marrow.

Function

contains DNA binding motifs (Zn fingers)

Homology

Evi9 (mouse); human BCL11B (14q32.1)

Implicated in

Entity name
t(2;14)(p13;q32) in B-cell malignancies
Disease
chronic lymphocytic leukemia / immunocytoma aggressive disease; possibly also other t(2;14)(p13;q32) in other B-ell diseases (acute lymphocytic leukemia, myeloma, ...) involve the same genes, but probably not Hodgkin disease cases with 2p amplification
Cytogenetics
most often the sole anomaly
Hybrid gene
head to head translocation of BCL11A with IGH switch sequences on the der(2)
Oncogenesis
BCL11A is overexpressed
