Abstract:
The core binding factor (CBF) transcription factor is somewhat unique in that it is composed of a DNA binding RUNX subunit (RUNX1, 2, or 3) and a non-DNA binding CBFβ subunit, which modulates RUNX protein activity by modulating the auto-inhibition of the RUNX subunits. Since the discovery of this fascinating transcription factor more than 20 years ago, there has been a robust effort to characterize the structure as well as the biochemical properties of CBF. More recently, these efforts have also extended to the fusion proteins that arise from the subunits of CBF in leukemia. This chapter highlights the work of numerous labs which has provided a detailed understanding of the structure and function of this transcription factor and its fusion proteins.
