L3MBTL1, a paralogue of Drosophila tumor suppressor lethal (3) malignant brain tumor (l (3)
mbt), binds histones in a methylation state-dependent manner and contributes to higher
order chromatin structure and transcriptional repression. It is the founding member of a
family of MBT domain-containing proteins that has three members in Drosophila and nine in
mice and humans. Knockdown experiments in cell lines suggested that L3MBTL1 has non-
redundant roles in the suppression of oncogene expression. We generated a mutant mouse …
