Disease relevance of LMO1

 

High impact information on LMO1

  • LMO T-cell translocation oncogenes typify genes activated by chromosomal translocations that alter transcription and developmental processes [6].
  • For example, in male germ cells CREM is not phosphorylated but associates with ACT, a member of the LIM-only class of proteins that has intrinsic transcriptional activity [7].
  • An scl gene product lacking the transactivation domain induces bony abnormalities and cooperates with LMO1 to generate T-cell malignancies in transgenic mice [8].
  • Lastly, we show that an scl construct lacking the scl transactivation domain collaborates with misexpressed LMO1, demonstrating that the scl transactivation domain is dispensable for oncogenesis, and supporting the hypothesis that the scl gene product exerts its oncogenic action through a dominant-negative mechanism [8].
  • These data demonstrate one function for the LIM-binding protein Ldb1 and establish a function for the LIM-only protein Lmo2 as an obligatory component of an oligomeric, DNA-binding complex which may play a role in haematopoiesis [9].

Other interactions of LMO1

  • The remarkable similarity between rbtn-1 and rbtn-3 proteins is parallelled in their expression patterns in mouse development, since both genes show high expression in restricted areas of the brain, but little lymphoid expression. rbtn-2 expression, however, is more ubiquitous [21].
  • The LIM-only protein LMO4 modulates the transcriptional activity of HEN1 [22].
  • A complex containing both RBTN1 and TAL1 also occurs in a T-cell acute leukemia cell line [23].
  • Therefore, the LMO1-LDB1 interaction is likely to be involved in tumorigenesis after LMO1 is ectopically expressed following chromosomal translocation in T cells prior to development of acute leukaemias [10].
  • Collectively, ectopic TAL1 and RBTN1 or -2, together with some endogenous T cell-specific cofactors like GATA3, constitute a highly collaborative set of transcription factors whose aberrant activity in T cells may lead to leukemogenesis by modulating expression of downstream genes such as TALLA1 [14].
