Elucidating the Importance of DOT1L Recruitment in MLL-AF9 Leukemia and Hematopoiesis

<i>MLL1 (KMT2a)</i> gene rearrangements underlie the pathogenesis of aggressive MLL-driven acute leukemia. AF9, one of the most common MLL-fusion partners, recruits the histone H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L to MLL target genes, constitutively activating transcription of pro-leukemic targ...
