Disease relevance of Ahi1

  • The function of these proteins is unknown, but involvement in leukemogenesis has been suggested by the high frequency of Ahi-1 mutations seen in certain virus-induced murine leukemias [1].
  • Here we report the identification of a novel gene (Ahi-1) targeted by these provirus insertional mutations and the cloning of its cDNA [2].
  • Molecular cloning of cellular sequences adjacent to Moloney proviruses enabled us to identify a cellular region, designated Ahi-1, which was found occupied by the helper proviruses in 16% of Abelson pre-B-cell lymphomas [3].
  • Evidence for an oncogenic role of AHI-1 in Sezary syndrome, a leukemic variant of human cutaneous T-cell lymphomas [4].
  • Its involvement in human leukemogenesis is demonstrated by gross perturbations in its expression in human leukemia cells, particularly in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cell lines where increases in AHI-1 transcripts of 40-fold are seen [4].
 

High impact information on Ahi1

  • AHI1 is most highly expressed in brain, particularly in neurons that give rise to the crossing axons of the corticospinal tract and superior cerebellar peduncles [5].
  • The gene is expressed strongly in embryonic hindbrain and forebrain, and our data suggest that AHI1 is required for both cerebellar and cortical development in humans [6].
  • Deregulated expression in Ph+ human leukemias of AHI-1, a gene activated by insertional mutagenesis in mouse models of leukemia [1].
  • Although 15 of 16 human lymphoid and myeloid leukemic cell lines showed aberrant control of AHI-1 expression, this was not seen in blasts obtained directly from patients with acute Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph(-)) leukemia (n = 15) [1].
  • Ahi-1/AHI-1 (Abelson helper integration site-1) encodes a family of protein isoforms containing one Src homology 3 (SH3) domain and multiple tryptophan-aspartic acid 40 (WD40)-repeat domains [1].
 

Biological context of Ahi1

 

Anatomical context of Ahi1

 

Regulatory relationships of Ahi1

  • To test whether provirus integration in the Ahi-1 region enhances the expression of Myb by a cis-acting mechanism, we have also examined Myb gene expression in A-MuLV-induced pre-B-lymphomas [8].
  • Since no significant alteration of c-myb expression was found in Abelson murine leukemia virus-induced pre-B-lymphomas harboring a provirus inserted within the Ahi-1 locus, this suggested that it harbors another gene whose dysregulation is involved in tumor formation [2].
 

Other interactions of Ahi1

  • The Ahi-1 locus was initially identified as a common helper provirus integration site in Abelson pre-B-cell lymphomas and shown to be closely linked to the c-myb proto-oncogene [2].
  • In addition, another previously identified provirus insertion site, Mis-2, was found to map within the 16th intron of the Ahi-1 gene [2].
