MLL-ENL Inhibits Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 to Achieve Efficient Transformation of Hematopoietic Cells

Stimulation of transcriptional elongation is a key activity of leukemogenic MLL fusion proteins. Here, we provide evidence that MLL-ENL also inhibits Polycomb-mediated silencing as a prerequisite for efficient transformation. Biochemical studies identified ENL as a scaffold that contacted the elong...
