Core-binding factor

Revision as of 14:16, 14 December 2015 by Michal Harel (talk | contribs)


Function

Core-binding factor (CBF) is a heterodimeric transcription factor which is composed of α chain which binds DNA and a regulatory β chain. CBF binds to various enhancers and promoters including murine leukemia virus and polyomavirus enhancer. [1]

Disease

Mutations in CBF β are implicated in breast cancer. Rearrangements of CBF α and β genes are implicated in acute myeloid leukemia.

Structural highlights

CBF α contains a DNA-binding runt domain (residues 50-177).


Human CBFα runt domain (grey and pink) complex with CBFβ heterodimerization domain (green and yellow) and DNA (PDB code 1h9d)
