NUP98 Gene

nucleoporin 98kDa

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) regulate the transport of macromolecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm, and are composed of many polypeptide subunits, many of which belong to the nucleoporin family. This gene belongs to the nucleoporin gene family and encodes a 186 kDa precursor protein that undergoes autoproteolytic cleavage to generate a 98 kDa nucleoporin and 96 kDa nucleoporin. The 98 kDa nucleoporin contains a Gly-Leu-Phe-Gly (GLGF) repeat domain and participates in many cellular processes, including nuclear import, nuclear export, mitotic progression, and regulation of gene expression. The 96 kDa nucleoporin is a scaffold component of the NPC. Proteolytic cleavage is important for targeting of the proteins to the NPC. Translocations between this gene and many other partner genes have been observed in different leukemias. Rearrangements typically result in chimeras with the N-terminal GLGF domain of this gene to the C-terminus of the partner gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms, at least two of which are proteolytically processed. Some variants lack the region that encodes the 96 kDa nucleoporin. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

CHRFAM7A Gene

CHRNA7 (cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 7, exons 5-10) and FAM7A (family with sequence similarity 7A, exons A-E) fusion

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are members of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast signal transmission at synapses. The family member CHRNA7, which is located on chromosome 15 in a region associated with several neuropsychiatric disorders, is partially duplicated and forms a hybrid with a novel gene from the family with sequence similarity 7 (FAM7A). Alternative splicing has been observed, and two variants exist, for this hybrid gene. The N-terminally truncated products predicted by the largest open reading frames for each variant would lack the majority of the neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel ligand binding domain but retain the transmembrane region that forms the ion channel. Although current evidence supports transcription of this hybrid gene, translation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-like protein-encoding open reading frames has not been confirmed.

chronic lymphocytic leukemia up-regulated 1

Expression of this gene has been shown to be upregulated in some individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and has been used for prognostic and diagnostic purposes. This gene was originally identified as a human-specific putative protein-coding gene due to the presence of a peptide (PAp00140670, HIIYSTFLSK) that could have supported translation at this locus. This peptide is not present in more recent builds of PeptideAtlas, and the presence of a protein product at this locus has not been independently verified.

This gene encodes a member of the proline and acidic-rich (PAR) protein family, a subset of the bZIP transcription factors. The encoded protein forms homodimers or heterodimers with other PAR family members and binds sequence-specific promoter elements to activate transcription. Chromosomal translocations fusing portions of this gene with the E2A gene cause a subset of childhood B-lineage acute lymphoid leukemias. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

MLLT4 Gene

myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax homolog, Drosophila); translocated to, 4

This gene encodes a multi-domain protein involved in signaling and organization of cell junctions during embryogenesis. It has also been identified as the fusion partner of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL-1) gene, involved in acute myeloid leukemias with t(6;11)(q27;q23) translocation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, however, not all have been fully characterized.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

MLLT6 Gene

myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax homolog, Drosophila); translocated to, 6

Enables histone binding activity and nucleosome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including renal potassium excretion; renal sodium excretion; and renal water absorption. Predicted to be active in nucleus.

MLLT1 Gene

myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax homolog, Drosophila); translocated to, 1

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity and lysine-acetylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of protein kinase activity. Located in cytosol; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Part of transcription elongation factor complex.

MLLT3 Gene

myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax homolog, Drosophila); translocated to, 3

Enables chromatin binding activity; lysine-acetylated histone binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell differentiation; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of stem cell division. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and positive regulation of Wnt signaling pathway, planar cell polarity pathway. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Part of transcription elongation factor complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

ALL1 Gene

Leukemia, acute lymphocytic, susceptibility to, 1

BLACE Gene

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia expressed

BAALC Gene

brain and acute leukemia, cytoplasmic

This gene was identified by gene expression studies in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The gene is conserved among mammals and is not found in lower organisms. Tissues that express this gene develop from the neuroectoderm. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described for this gene; however, some of the transcript variants are found only in AML cell lines.

AMLCR2 Gene

acute myeloid leukemia chromosome region 2

LIFR Gene

leukemia inhibitory factor receptor alpha

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. This protein combines with a high-affinity converter subunit, gp130, to form a receptor complex that mediates the action of the leukemia inhibitory factor, a polyfunctional cytokine that is involved in cellular differentiation, proliferation and survival in the adult and the embryo. Mutations in this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 2, a disease belonging to the group of the bent-bone dysplasias. A translocation that involves the promoter of this gene, t(5;8)(p13;q12) with the pleiomorphic adenoma gene 1, is associated with salivary gland pleiomorphic adenoma, a common type of benign epithelial tumor of the salivary gland. Multiple splice variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2018]

DLEU2 Gene

deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 2 (non-protein coding)

This locus represents a microRNA host gene and also produces long alternatively spliced non-coding RNAs. This genome region was observed to be deleted or epigenetically suppressed in leukemia, and was implicated as a negative regulator of cell proliferation. However, an alternative transcript produced at this locus was also found to promote progression through the cell cycle via angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 and cyclin D1.

MKL1 Gene

megakaryoblastic leukemia (translocation) 1

The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the transcription factor myocardin, a key regulator of smooth muscle cell differentiation. The encoded protein is predominantly nuclear and may help transduce signals from the cytoskeleton to the nucleus. This gene is involved in a specific translocation event that creates a fusion of this gene and the RNA-binding motif protein-15 gene. This translocation has been associated with acute megakaryocytic leukemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
