The family of core-binding factors includes the DNA-binding subunits Runx1-3 and their common nonDNA-binding partner CBFß. We examined the collective role of core-binding factors in hematopoiesis with a hypomorphic Cbfb allelic series. Reducing CBFß levels by 3- or 6-fold caused abnormalities in bone development, megakaryocytes, granulocytes, and T cells. T-cell development was very sensitive to an incremental reduction of CBFß levels: mature thymocytes were decreased in number upon a 3-fold reduction in CBFß levels, and were virtually absent when CBFß levels were 6-fold lower. Partially penetrant consecutive differentiation blocks were found among early T-lineage progenitors within the CD4CD8 double-negative 1 and downstream double-negative 2 thymocyte subsets. Our data define a critical CBFß threshold for normal T-cell development, and situate an essential role for core-binding factors during the earliest stages of T-cell development.
