Peptidomimetic blockade of MYB in acute myeloid leukemia

MYB activity is a key factor for the maintenance of acute myeloid leukemias but it is also a difficult target. Here, the authors develop a peptidomimetic (MYBMIM) that prevents the interaction of the trans-activation domain of MYB with the KIX domain of CBP/P300 and inhibits leukaemia growth.
