    PROTEIN
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal homology domain is a region of homology shared by the four AFF members
  • proline and serine-rich domains
  • C-terminus (containing the NLSII/NoLS sequence) co-localizes with fibrillarin in the nucleolus
  • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies homolog to FMR2 ,LAF4,highly
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • (AF4/FMR2) family of proteins
  • CATEGORY transcription factor , protooncogene
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • DNA-binding capacity and transcription transactivation potential
  • potential role for AFF1/AF4 in lymphopoiesis
  • both AFF1 and AFF4 regulate gene transcription through elongation and chromatin remodeling
  • AFF1 and AFF4 differentially regulate the osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs
  • central scaffolding protein of super elongation complex (SEC), regulating gene transcription
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • AFF4-CHD mediates the formation of an AFF4 homodimer or an AFF1-AFF4 heterodimer
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with MLL in MLL/AFF1 fusion gene (regulating CDKN1B)
  • interact with the positive transcription elongation factor b (CCNT1)
  • FLT3-mediated inhibition of hematopoiesis in KMT2A-AFF1-expressing hESCs, which is associated with large transcriptional changes and downregulation of genes involved in hematopoietic system development and function
  • TBP loading by AFF1 through TAF1A, TAF1B, TAF1C is the major rate-limiting step in MLL fusion-dependent transcription
  • AFF1 regulates the expression of DKK1 via binding to its promoter region
  • mechanistically, AFF1 binds to the promoter region of TGM2 gene and regulates its transcription, and AFF1 inhibits adipogenic differentiation by regulating the transcription of TGM2
