The AML1 gene encodes a DNA-binding protein that
contains the runt domain and is the most frequent target of
translocations associated with human leukemias. Here, point mutations
of the AML1 gene, V105ter (single-letter amino acid
code) and R139G, (single-letter amino acid codes)
were identified in 2 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) by means
of the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction single-strand
conformation polymorphism method. Both mutations are present in the
region encoding the runt domain of AML1 and cause
loss of the DNA-binding ability of the resultant products. Of these
mutants, V105ter has also lost the ability to heterodimerize with
polyomavirus enhancer binding protein 2/core binding factor (PEBP2 /CBF ). On the other hand, the R139G mutant acts as a
dominant negative inhibitor by competing with wild-type AML1 for
interaction with PEBP2 /CBF . This study is the first report that
describes mutations of AML1 in patients with MDS
and the mechanism whereby the mutant acts as a dominant negative
inhibitor of wild-type AML1.
