RUNX1 also known as AML1 is a transcription factor with a molecular weight of approximately 48 kDa. It belongs to the Runt-related transcription factor family and plays a critical role in hematopoiesis. RUNX1 is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and various other tissues where it regulates the expression of genes involved in the differentiation and proliferation of blood cells. It exerts its function by binding to specific DNA sequences thereby controlling the transcriptional activity necessary for normal hematopoietic development.
Biological function summary
RUNX1 is essential in the formation of blood cells and is part of the core-binding factor (CBF) complex. This complex is a heterodimer comprising RUNX1 and the CBFβ subunit. The interaction between RUNX1 and CBFβ stabilizes the DNA binding capability of RUNX1 facilitating the activation of target gene transcription. The proper functioning of RUNX1 is necessary for the maintenance of normal lineage specification of hematopoietic progenitors affecting both myeloid and lymphoid cell lineages.
Pathways
RUNX1 plays a significant role in the Wnt signaling pathway and the TGF-beta signaling pathway. RUNX1 interacts with several proteins in these pathways including SMAD proteins and β-catenin which are important for transmitting extracellular signals that regulate cell growth and differentiation. RUNX1’s role in these pathways highlights its importance not only in hematopoiesis but also in preventing abnormal cell proliferation.
RUNX1 mutations are strongly associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and familial platelet disorder. In AML RUNX1 mutations disrupt normal hematopoiesis leading to the uncontrolled proliferation of immature blood cells. RUNX1-related proteins such as the GM-CSF receptor can contribute to disease progression by altering cytokine signaling. RUNX1's involvement in familial platelet disorder reflects its importance in maintaining normal blood cell counts and function as loss of RUNX1 function leads to predisposition to leukemia.
