The recurrent translocation t(8;16)(p11;p13) is a cytogenetic hallmark for the M4/M5 subtype of acute myeloid leukaemia. Here we identify the breakpoint-associated genes. Positional cloning on chromosome 16 implicates the CREB-binding protein (CBP), a transcriptional adaptor/coactivator protein. At the chromosome 8 breakpoint we identify a novel gene, MOZ, which encodes a 2,004-amino-acid protein characterized by two C4HC3 zinc fingers and a single C2HC zinc finger in conjunction with a putative acetyltransferase signature. In-frame MOZ-CBP fusion transcripts combine the MOZ finger motifs and putative acetyltransferase domain with a largely intact CBP. We suggest that MOZ may represent a chromatin-associated acetyltransferase, and raise the possibility that a dominant MOZ-CBP fusion protein could mediate leukaemogenesis via aberrant chromatin acetylation.
