FUSION GENES

DNA/RNA

DNA Diagram

Description

the gene spans a region of more than 120 kb

Transcription

transcription is from telomere to centromere --> the fusion gene is located on the other chromosome (eg the der(8) of the t(8;21), the der(3) of the t(3;21)...); alternate splicing --> transcripts of 2, 3.3, ->7.5 and 8 kb

Proteins

Protein Diagram

Description

250, 453 amino acids and other forms; forms heterodimers with CBFB

Expression

widely expressed, including hematopoietic cells at various stages of differenciation: role in haematopoiesis

Localisation

nuclear

Function

transcription factor (activator) for various hematopoietic-specific genes: binds to the core site 5 PyGPyGGTPy 3 of a number of promotors and enhancers, as in GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor), CSF1R (colony stimulating factor 1 receptor), TCRb sites (T cell antigen receptors), and myeloid myeloperoxidase

Homology

1- Runt (drosophila): nuclear DNA binding protein; role in segmentation (embryology); 2- AML2 (also called: CBFA3, CBFa3, PEBPaC), located in 1p35-36, expressed in B lineage (3 and 5 kb RNA); AML3: (also called: CBFA1, CBFa1, PEBPaA) in 6p21; 3- cbfa family (mouse)

Implicated in

Entity name
Familial platelet disorder with predisposition to acute non lymphocytic leukemia
Entity name
t(1;21)(p36;q22) treatment related acute non lymphocytic leukemia (AML) --> ?/ RUNX1
Entity name
Entity name
t(3;21)(q26;q22)/ myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or AML --> EVI1 or EAP/ MDS1 - RUNX1
Disease
CML-BC of myeloid type; AML and MDS, often therapy related (secondary to antitopoisomerase II)
Hybrid gene
5 AML1 - 3 EAP or MDS1 or EVI1
Entity name
t(4;21)(q31;q22) T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) --> ?/ RUNX1
Entity name
t(5;21)(q13;q22) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and AML --> ?/ RUNX1
Entity name
Disease
AML, M2 mostly
Prognosis
CR is obtained; median survival (1.5-2 yrs) is the range with other AML or relatively better
Cytogenetics
additional anomalies are frequent: loss of Y or X chromosome, del(7q)/-7, +8, del (9q); complex t(8;21;Var) are known and have revealed that the crucial event lies on der(8); in agrement with the fact that both genes are transcribed from telomere to centromere
Hybrid gene
5 AML1 - 3 ETO
Fusion protein
N-term AML1 with the Runt domain fused to the nearly entire ETO
Oncogenesis
the fusion protein retain the ability to recognize the AML1 concensus binding site (--> negative dominant competitor with the normal AML1) and to dimerize with the cbtb/CBTB subunit --> probable altered transcriptional regulation of normal AML1 target genes
Entity name
Entity name
t(8;21)(q24;q22) ALL and AML --> TRPS1 / RUNX1
Entity name
Disease
B cell ALL (CD10+)
Prognosis
CR in all cases; prognosis seems good
Cytogenetics
often undetectable without FISH; additional anomalies: frequent del(12)(p12) on the other allele
Hybrid gene
5 ETV6 - 3 AML1on the der(21)
Fusion protein
Helix loop helix of TEL fused to the nearly entire AML1 protein; the other TEL allele is often deleted
Entity name
Entity name
Disease
AML and therapy related AML; mainly with preceeding MDS
Prognosis
very poor
Entity name
t(19;21)(q13;q22) treatment related AML --> AMP19 / RUNX1
Entity name
t(20;21)(q1;3q22) treatment related ANL --> ? / RUNX1
Entity name
t(21;21)(q11;q22) MDS --> UPS25 / RUNX1
