The mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene located at
chromosome band 11q23 is frequently rearranged in patients with
therapy-related acute monocytic leukemia who received topoisomerase II
inhibitors. We have identified a novel fusion partner of MLL
(FAB M5b) in a patient who developed t-AML 9 years after
treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The leukemic cells
had a sole karyotypic abnormality of t(3;11) (p21;q23). Screening of a
genomic DNA library, prepared from leukemic cell DNA, identified
rearranged clones composed of MLL and a novel gene on
chromosome 3p21 (AF3p21). The AF3p21 gene
encodes a protein of 722 amino acids, which contains an Src homology 3 (SH3) domain, a proline-rich domain, and a bipartite nuclear localizing
signal (NLS). RNA analysis demonstrated that exon 6 of the MLL
gene fused to exon 2 of the AF3p21 gene. The resulting chimeric
protein consists of AT-hooks, methyltransferase, and
transcription repressor domains of MLL in addition to the AF3p21
proline-rich domain and NLS but not the AF3p21 SH3 domain.
