ALIAS
AFX1 (ALL1 fused gene from chromosome X, 1),MLLT7 (myeloid/lymphoid leukemia translocated to, 7),AFX,FOXO4
FUSION GENES
DNA/RNA
Transcription
7,5kb consisting of 3 exons. RNA App. 3.5 kb mRNA; coding sequence. Placental secondary transcript: App. 2.8kb Expression pattern: Heavily expressed in skeletal muscle, placenta and ovary
Proteins
Description
504 amino acids; NH2 -- similarity region with AF6q21 and FHKR -- forkhead motif -- COOH
Expression
wide
Localisation
nuclear
Function
Transcription factor binding to the motive TTGTTTAC. Target genes: Akt, AFX is able to induce Rb-independent, p27kip1-mediated G1-arrest. Phosphorylation of AFX by protein kinase B inhibits its transcriptional activity.
Homology
daf-16 (C.elegans) and other forkhead-transcription factors (i.e. FKHR, FKHRL1, FKHRP1, FKHRL1P1) and AF6q21, involved in the t(6;11)(q21;q23). In the fusion protein AFX/MLL, AFX fuses to MLL in the same aminoacid as FHKR fuses to PAX3 in the PAX3/FKHR-fusion protein of alveolar rabdomyosarcoma.
Implicated in
Entity name
Disease
AML, T-ALL
Prognosis
very poor
Hybrid gene
5 MLL-3 AFX as well as the reciprocal 5 AFX-3 MLL on DNA and mRNA level
Fusion protein
comprises about 1400 amino acids from N-term MLL and 354 amino acids from AFX C-term; the reciprocal may be expressed
