混合谱系白血病 (MLL) 蛋白是一种表观遗传转录调节因子,控制未成熟造血祖细胞的增殖扩张,其异常激活会触发白血病发生。成熟的 MLL 蛋白是通过分子内复合物的形成和蛋白水解裂解产生的。然而,这两个转录后事件的生物学意义仍不清楚。为了解决它们的体内作用,创建了小鼠突变等位基因,它们专门表达无法进行分子内相互作用的变异蛋白(指定为 de)或不可切割的突变蛋白(指定为 uc)。 de纯合子小鼠在妊娠中期死亡,并表现出胚胎发育严重失败和造血祖细胞数量减少,而uc纯合子小鼠则没有表现出明显的缺陷。 MLL 靶基因的表达在去纯合成纤维细胞中严重受损,但在 uc 纯合成纤维细胞中不受影响。这些结果明确证明分子内复合物形成是关键的成熟步骤,而蛋白水解切割对于体内 MLL 依赖性基因激活和增殖是可有可无的。
The mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) protein is an epigenetic transcriptional regulator that controls proliferative expansion of immature hematopoietic progenitors, whose aberrant activation triggers leukemogenesis. A mature MLL protein is produced by formation of an intra-molecular complex and proteolytic cleavage. However the biological significance of these two post-transcriptional events remains unclear. To address their in vivo roles, mouse mutant alleles were created that exclusively express either a variant protein incapable of intra-molecular interaction (designated de) or an uncleavable mutant protein (designated uc). The de homozygous mice died during midgestation and manifested devastating failure in embryonic development and reduced numbers of hematopoietic progenitors, whereas uc homozygous mice displayed no apparent defects. Expression of MLL target genes was severely impaired in de homozygous fibroblasts but unaffected in uc homozygous fibroblasts. These results unequivocally demonstrate that intra-molecular complex formation is a crucial maturation step whereas proteolytic cleavage is dispensable for MLL-dependent gene activation and proliferation in vivo.
