AML1 (also known as Runx1, CBFA2 and PEBP2αB) is a member of the CBF (core binding factor) family of transcription factors (Ref 1,2). It is required for normal development of all hematopoietic lineages (Ref 3,4,5). AML1 forms a heterodimeric DNA binding complex with its partner protein CBFβ and regulates the expression of cellular genes by binding to promoter and enhancer elements. AML1 is commonly translocated in hematopoietic cancers; chromosomal translocations include t(8;21) AML1-ETO, t(12;21)TEL-AML, and t(8;21) AML-M2 (Ref 6). Phosphorylation of AML1 on several potential serine and threonine sites, including Ser249, is thought to occur in an ERK-dependent manner (Ref 7,8).
