摘要
The tel gene, recently shown to be translocated in a spectrum of acute and chronic human leukemias, be longs to the ets family of sequence specific transcription factors. To determine the role of Tel in normal hematopoietic development, we used the tel gene as the bait in the yeast two hybrid system to screen a hematopoietic stem cell library. Two partners were identified: Tel binds to itself, and Tel binds to the ets family member Fli-1. In vitro and in vivo assays confirmed these inter actions. In transient transfection assays, Fli-1 transactivates megakaryocytic specific promoters, and Tel inhibits this effect of Fli-1, Transactivation studies using deletion mutants of Tel, and the Tel-AML-1 fusion protein, indicate that the helix-loop-helix domain of Tel only partially inhibits transactivation and that complete inhibition requires the full-length Tel molecule, including the DNA binding domain. The Tel and Fli-1 proteins are expressed early in hematopoiesis, and the inability of Tel fusion proteins such as Tel-AML-1 to counteract Fli-1 mediated transactivation may contribute to the malignant phenotype in human leukemias where this fusion protein is present.
