Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1–Friend leukemia virus integration 1 fusion protein (EWS-FLI)

Target
EWS-FLI
Molecular classification
Transcription factor, Fusion protein
01

Overview

The EWS-FLI fusion protein is a hallmark driver mutation in most cases of classic Ewing sarcoma, acting as a potent aberrant transcription factor that rewires cellular growth control pathways through both direct changes in gene regulation and indirect effects on mRNA processing. Its unique structure—combining disordered activation domains with ordered DNA-binding motifs—underlies its pathological function in cancer biology.

Other names
