• Background: Hox, Pbx, and Meis families of transcription factors form heteromeric complexes and bind DNA through specific homeobox domains. Hox proteins are involved in regulating tissue patterning during development, and they are also expressed n lineage- and stage-specific patterns during adult ematopoietic ifferentiation and in leukemias. The Hox proteins, which include paralog groups 1 to 10, have a low intrinsic binding affinity for DNA and are instead associated into cooperative DNA binding complexes with Pbx or the Pbx related Meis proteins, which result in an enhanced Hox-DNA binding affinity and an increased selectivity for the binding site. Both Meis1 and 2 (also known as Meis-related gene 1) are members of the TALE (three amino acid loop extension) family of homeodomain-containing proteins. In addition to binding with Hox proteins, Meis1 also forms heterodimers with the ubiquitously expressed Pbx proteins, including Pbx1, Pbx2 and Pbx3, and these complexes contain distinct DNA-binding specificities.
