Convergent organization of aberrant MYB complex controls oncogenic gene expression in acute myeloid leukemia

S. Takao, L. Forbes, M. Uni, S. Cheng, J. M. B. Pineda, Y. Tarumoto, P. Cifani, G. Minuesa, C. Chen, M. G. Kharas, R. K. Bradley, C. R. Vakoc, R. P. Koche, A. Kentsis

This study identifies aberrant MYB complex assembly as a driver of oncogenic gene expression in AML and shows that targeting this complex can induce differentiation and apoptosis.

Peptidomimetic blockade of MYB in acute myeloid leukemia

K. Ramaswamy, L. Forbes, G. Minuesa, T. Gindin, F. Brown, M. Kharas, A. Krivtsov, S. Armstrong, E. Still, E. de Stanchina, B. Knoechel, R. Koche, A. Kentsis

This study develops a peptidomimetic inhibitor, MYBMIM, that blocks MYB:CBP/P300 complex assembly in AML cells, leading to apoptosis and reduced tumor growth in mice.
