MBNL1 hijacks a structured single-stranded distal DNA element to sustain FLT3 expression in KMT2A-rearranged leukemias

Listed in NCBI GEO

The molecular mechanisms by which KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) leukemias maintains the oncogenic FLT3 expression remain largely unclear, limiting therapeutic opportunities.

Description

Here, we identify the RNA-binding protein MBNL1 as a novel positive regulator of FLT3 by DepMap dataset exploration and combinatorial CRISPR screens. MBNL1 promotes leukemia cell survival by sustaining FLT3 expression in a KMT2A-r context-dependent manner.

Mechanistically, we discover that MBNL1 recognizes a structured single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) element containing five consecutive guanines within the FLT3 enhancer, through MBNL1?s zinc finger domains and the C-terminal unstructured region.
