MLLT1 (MLLT1 super elongation complex subunit) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a fusion partner, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Wilms tumour and 1 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Chromatin reader component of the super elongation complex (SEC), a complex required to increase the catalytic rate of RNA polymerase II transcription by suppressing transient pausing by the polymerase at multiple sites along the DNA. Specifically recognises and binds acetylated and crotonylated histones, with a preference for histones that are crotonylated. Has a slightly higher affinity for binding histone H3 crotonylated at 'Lys-27' (H3K27cr) than 'Lys-20' (H3K9cr20). May play a role in leukemogenic gene transcription. Acts as a key chromatin reader in acute myeloid leukaemia by recognising and binding to acetylated histones via its YEATS domain, thereby regulating oncogenic gene transcription. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 19p13.3 (HGNC).
