Introduction

ABL1 homo-dimer complex

The c-Abl protein 1 (ABL1), also known as Abelson kinase, is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a role in many key processes linked to cell growth and survival. Activity of c-Abl protein is negatively regulated by its SH3 domain, and deletion of the SH3 domain turns ABL1 into an oncogene. In more than 90% cases, chronic myelogeneous leukemia (CML) is caused by chromosomal abnormality resulting in the formation of a so-called Philadelphia chromosome. It is caused by fusion between Abelson (Abl) tyrosine kinase gene at chromosome 9 and break point cluster (Bcr) gene at chromosome 22, resulting in the chimeric oncogene Bcr-Abl and a constitutively active Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase.
