The AML1-ETO fusion protein is produced by the t (8; 21) translocation, which is the most common chromosomal abnormality in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although AML1-ETO alone is insufficient to cause leukemia, it is necessary for maintaining leukemia and therefore represents a therapeutic target. This notion has been supported by several lines of evidence:(i) transient suppression of AML1-ETO by small interfering RNA (siRNA) increases susceptibility of the leukemic cells to differentiation and delays leukemogenesis in vivo [1, 2];(ii) in a mouse model harboring fully developed leukemia, switching off AML1-ETO leads to leukemia regression [3];(iii) in an AML1-ETO9a (AE9a)-driven leukemic mouse model, myeloid differentiation of leukemic cells triggered by panobinostat (an HDAC inhibitor) was attributed to AE9a degradation [4]; and (iv) mechanistic studies revealed that depletion of AML1-ETO in leukemic cells leads to a genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming and changes in transcription factor binding, resulting in myeloid differentiation and loss of leukemia maintenance [5]. We previously found that, in leukemic cells, AML1-ETO is stabilized and functions through the AML1-ETO-containing transcription factor complex (AETFC), which contains multiple transcription (co) factors that include AML1-ETO, CBFβ, E proteins HEB and E2A, hematopoietic bHLH transcription factor LYL1, LIM domain protein LMO2 and its binding partner LDB1 [6]. These AETFC components mutually stabilize each other and cooperatively bind and regulate target genes, and AETFC integrity and proper conformation are essential for leukemogenesis [6]. Thus, destabilization of AETFC provides a strategy to target AML1-ETO. Notably, it has been generally proposed that the stability of a protein complex can
