Summary

This chapter focuses on the role of CBP/p300 in the transcriptional control of hematopoietic cell differentiation. Following an initial general overview of CBP/p300, the hematopoietic transcription factors regulated by CPB/p300 are described in a systematic fashion. Leukemia-associated chromosomal translocations involving the CBP/p300 genes are discussed briefly, and the mechanistic aspects of CBP/p300 function are presented.
