DNA Research
New DNA research study findings recently were reported by researchers at University of Sydney
May 29th, 2008
According to a study from Sydney, Australia, "The nuclear proteins TAL1 (T-cell acute leukaemia protein 1) and LMO2 (LIM-only protein 2) have critical roles in haematopoietic development, but are also often aberrantly activated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. TAL1 and LMO2 operate within multifactorial protein-DNA complexes that regulate gene expression in the developing blood cell." "TAL1 is a tissue-specific basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein that binds bHLH domains of ubiquitous E-proteins, (E12 and E47), to bind E-box (CANNTG) DNA motifs. TAL1(bHLH) also interacts specifically with the LIM domains of LMO2, which in turn bind Ldb1 (LIM-domain binding...
