MLLT3 (MLLT3 super elongation complex subunit) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. The public catalogues list it as a fusion partner, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Melanoma. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Chromatin reader component of the super elongation complex (SEC), a complex required to increase the catalytic rate of RNA polymerase II transcription by suppressing transient pausing by the polymerase at multiple sites along the DNA. Specifically recognises and binds acylated histone H3, with a preference for histone H3 that is crotonylated. Crotonylation marks active promoters and enhancers and confers resistance to transcriptional repressors. Recognises and binds histone H3 crotonylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9cr), and with slightly lower affinity histone H3 crotonylated at 'Lys-18' (H3K18cr). Also recognises and binds histone H3 acetylated and butyrylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9ac and H3K9bu, respectively), but with lower affinity than crotonylated histone H3. In the SEC complex, MLLT3 is required to recruit the complex to crotonylated histones. Location: Nucleus; Chromosome (UniProt). Locus 9p21.3 (HGNC).
