Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LEF1 gene.^[5] It is a member of T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF/LEF) family.

Function

Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF1) is a 48-kD nuclear protein that is expressed in pre-B and T cells. It binds to a functionally important site in the T-cell receptor-alpha (TCRA) enhancer and confers maximal enhancer activity. LEF1 belongs to a family of regulatory proteins that share homology with high mobility group protein-1 (HMG1).^[6]

Clinical significance

LEF1 is highly overexpressed and associated with disease progression and poor prognosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia^[7] and other kinds of malignancies like colorectal cancer.^[8] It is also a promising potential drug target.^[9]

Interactions

Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 has been shown to interact with:

• ALX4,^[10]
• AML-1,^[11]
• Catenin beta-1/β-catenin/CTNNB1,^{[12][13][14][15]} including transgenically,^[16]
• EP300,^[17]
• MITF^[18]
• PIAS4,^[19]
• SMAD2,^[15] and
• SMAD3.^[15]
