MN1 is a gene found on human chromosome 22, with gene map locus 22q12.3-qter.[1] Its official full name is meningioma (disrupted in balanced translocation) 1 because it is disrupted by a balanced translocation (4;22) in a meningioma.

Function

MN1 is a transcription coregulator that enhances or represses gene expression through direct or indirect interaction with the gene regulatory machinery. Reported interactions include the BAF (SWI/SNF) complex.[2] RAC3 and p300.[3] MN1 can act as a coactivator of several transcription factors, including RAR/RXR and the vitamin D receptor.[4] In AML, MN1 binds to genomic sites enriched for binding motifs of ETS factors as well as hematopoietic transcription factors such as RUNX1, GATA2, HOXA cluster genes, and MEIS1.[2] MN1 induces a hematopoietic stem and progenitor gene expression program centered on HOXA cluster genes, particularly HOXA9 and MEIS1 via its interaction with the BAF complex[5][2]

Clinical significance

The translocation of MN1 was first reported in meningioma.[1] A substantial percentage of primitive neuro-ectodermal tumors (PNET) have MN1 translocations[6] Several different partners were described, although in many cases no fusion partner was identified. MN1 transloations also occur in up to 2% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)[7] Described fusion partners include ETV6, STAT3 and FLI1.[8][7][9] About 50% of fusions are out of frame and result in high expression of MN1 via enhancer hijacking.[7][2] High MN1 expression in AML and MDS is associated with poor outcome [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][excessive citations]

Mutations in this gene have been associated with cleft palate[17][18][19] and an atypical form of rhombencephalosynapsis.[20]
