Genes Involved and Proteins
Gene name
PAX5 (paired box gene 5)
Location
9p13.2
Protein description
Lineage-specific transcription factor; recognizes the concensus recognition sequence GNCCANTGAAGCGTGAC, where N is any nucleotide. Involved in B-cell differentiation. Entry of common lymphoid progenitors into the B cell lineage depends on E2A, EBF1, and PAX5; activates B-cell specific genes and repress genes involved in other lineage commitments. Activates the surface cell receptor CD19 and repress FLT3. Pax5 physically interacts with the RAG1/RAG2 complex, and removes the inhibitory signal of the lysine-9-methylated histone H3, and induces V-to-DJ rearrangements. Genes repressed by PAX5 expression in early B cells are restored in their function in mature B cells and plasma cells, and PAX5 repressed (Fuxa et al., 2004; Johnson et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2006; Cobaleda et al., 2007).
Gene name
ZNF521 (zinc finger protein 521)
Location
18q11.2
Protein description
Transcription factor. Involved in B-cell lineage commitment, in the differentiation of neural progenitors; Inhibits EBF1. Binds Runx2 and represses its transcriptional activity. Regulates osteoblast differentiation and bone formation (Bond et al., 2008; Lobo et al., 2008; Wu et al., 2009; Hesse et al., 2010).
Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly
Description
Fusion of PAX5 exon 7 to ZNF521 exon 4.
Description
The predicted fusion protein contains the DNA binding paired domain of PAX5 and the DNA-binding and transcriptional regulator domain of ZNF521. 1541 amino acids.
