摘要: We characterized MLL3, a new human member of the TRX/MLL gene family. MLL3 is expressed in peripheral blood, placenta, pancreas, testes, and foetal thymus weakly heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney. It encodes predicted protein 4911 amino acids containing two plant homeo domains (PHD), an ATPase alpha_beta signature, high mobility group, SET (Suppressor variegation, Enhancer zeste, Trithorax) FY (phenylalanine tyrosine)-rich domains. The acid sequence domain was used to obtain phylogenetic tree MLL genes their homologues different species. closely related MLL2, Fugu mll2, Caenorhabditis elegans protein, Drosophila trithorax-related protein. Interestingly, PHD are frequently found proteins encoded by that rearranged haematological malignancies maps 7q36, chromosome region deleted myeloid disorders. Partial duplications juxtacentromeric chromosomes 1, 2, 13, 21.
