The G-quadruplexes (G4s) in the genome are important drug targets because they regulate gene expression and the genome structure. Several small molecules that bind the G4 have been developed, but few artificial G4 binding proteins have been reported. We previously reported a novel DNA G4 binding protein (RGGF) engineered using the Arg-Gly-Gly repeat (RGG) domain of TLS (translocated in liposarcoma), also known as FUS (fused in sarcoma) protein (TLS/FUS).

To investigate the pathogenesis and the refractory/relapse mechanisms in patients with t(16;21)(p11;q22), we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of six cases in our hospital and sixty-two cases reported in the literature. Among the patients in our hospital, five cases were diagnosed as acute leukemia, and one was myelodysplastic syndrome evolved to acute myeloid leukemia, harboring TLS/FUS-ERG fusion gene; all the cases were detected t(16;21)(p11;q22) translocation, and five cases showed additional chromosomal abnormalities. We firstly report a novel three-way translocation t(11;16;21)(q13;p11;q22), which may affect the prognosis of leukemia with TLS-ERG fusion gene because this patient shows a more satisfactory treatment effect and deeper remission.

Translocated in LipoSarcoma/Fused in Sarcoma (TLS/FUS) is a nuclear RNA binding protein whose mutations cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. TLS/FUS undergoes LLPS and forms membraneless particles with other proteins and nucleic acids. Interaction with RNA alters conformation of TLS/FUS, which affects binding with proteins, but the effect of mA RNA modification on the TLS/FUS-RNA interaction remains elusive.

In the study of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), TLS-ERG (also called FUS-ERG or TLS/FUS-ERG) was found to be closely associated with extramedullary disease (EMD), with very poor prognosis. However, the occurrence of TLS-ERG in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is very rare. Till date, only 20 cases of ALL with TLS-ERG gene have been reported, of which six are children.
