Reciprocal t(9;22) ABL/BCR fusion proteins: leukemogenic potential and effects on B cell commitment. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:t(9;22) is a balanced translocation, and the chromosome 22 breakpoints (Philadelphia chromosome--Ph+) determine formation of different fusion genes that are associated with either Ph+ acute lymphatic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) or chronic myeloid ...

The functional interplay between the t(9;22)-associated fusion proteins BCR/ABL and ABL/BCR in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia. [PDF]
The hallmark of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph(+)) leukemia is the BCR/ABL kinase, which is successfully targeted by selective ATP competitors. However, inhibition of BCR/ABL alone is unable to eradicate Ph(+) leukemia.

BCR/ABL inhibition by an escort/phosphatase fusion protein [PDF]
Cellular transformation by the BCR/ABL oncogene depends on the ABL-encoded tyrosine kinase activity. To block BCR/ABL function, we created a unique tyrosine phosphatase by fusing the catalytic domain of SHP1 (SHP1c) to the ABL binding domain (ABD) of RIN1, an established binding partner and substrate for c-ABL and BCR/ABL.

Relationship Between BCR/ABL Fusion Proteins and Leukemia Phenotype [PDF]
To the Editor: We read with interest the recent Editorial in Blood by Melo[1][1] concerning the relationship between BCR/ABL variant transcripts and the leukemia phenotype determination. Regarding the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a strict correlation was suggested between at least three ...

Background The fusion oncoprotein Bcr-Abl is mostly located in the cytoplasm, which causes chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). After moving into the nucleus, the fusion protein can induce apoptosis of CML cells.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia with e1a3 BCR/ABL fusion protein. A report of two cases [PDF]
B Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph') is a neoplasm of lymphoblast committed to the B cell lineage. The clinical presentation of B-ALL Ph'+ is similar to B-ALL, but is more common in adults than in children. The e1a3 rare variant is produced by the fusion of BCR exon 1 to ABL exon 3.

Interplay between kinase domain autophosphorylation and F-actin binding domain in regulating imatinib sensitivity and nuclear import of BCR-ABL. [PDF]
The constitutively activated BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is localized exclusively to the cytoplasm despite the three nuclear localization signals (NLS) in the ABL portion of this fusion protein.

Flow cytometric immunobead assay for the detection of BCR–ABL fusion proteins in leukemia patients [PDF]
BCR-ABL fusion proteins show increased signaling through their ABL tyrosine kinase domain, which can be blocked by specific inhibitors, thereby providing effective treatment. This makes detection of BCR-ABL aberrations of utmost importance for diagnosis, classification and treatment of leukemia patients.

PTPROt Inactivates the Oncogenic Fusion Protein BCR/ABL and Suppresses Transformation of K562 Cells [PDF]
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is typified by constitutive activation of the c-abl kinase as a result of its fusion to the breakpoint cluster region (BCR). Because the truncated isoform of protein-tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type O (PTPROt) is specifically expressed in hematopoietic cells, we tested the possibility that it could potentially ...

Spontaneous Soft Tissue Haematomas-A Rare Presentation of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) [PDF]
Spontaneous soft tissue haematomas are rarely found in haematological malignancies. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder which rarely present with thrombo-haemorrhagic phenomenon.
