    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in cell growth and in maintenance, and in oncogenesis
  • required in the elaboration of the erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages (Pina 2008)
  • regulator of early erythroid and megakaryocytic cell fate in the human system (Pina 2008)
  • strongly augments the ANKRD6-driven activation of JUN-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent gene expression in the nucleus, and this augmentation largely depends on the presence of nuclear ANKRD6

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ANKRD6 in the nucleus, interacts with the transcription factor MLLT3
  • ANKRD6, and MLLT3 block canonical WNT signaling; however, this occurs independently of each other, and does not require nuclear ANKRD6
  • direct interaction between MLLT3/MLLT1 and DOT1L and for optimal interaction an intact C-terminal domain in MLL fusion proteins is critical
  • cell & other

    cancerhemopathy 
    disruption of interaction between DOT1L and MLLT3/MLLT1 is a promising therapeutic strategy with potentially fewer adverse effects than enzymatic inhibition of DOT1L for KMT2A fusion protein-associated leukemia
