Transcription factors, translocations and haematological malignancies
1University of Cambridge Dept of Haematology, MRC Centre, UK.
Abstract:
Haematological malignancies arise as a consequence of clonal evolution driven by an accumulation of somatic mutations. Many haematological malignancies are associated with chromosome translocations that have provided powerful tools for the identification of proto-oncogenes implicated in the pathogenesis of leukaemia/lymphoma. The recent characterisation of several translocation breakpoints associated with human haematological tumours has demonstrated that genes encoding transcription factors are frequently involved. Direct alteration of transcription factor activity by somatic mutation may represent a particularly powerful leukaemogenic event.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
