Key Points

This research aims to investigate the role of five crucial transcription factors in B cell development and associated diseases.
Developed new mouse models expressing tagged transcription factors for targeted protein degradation.
Applied the Auxin-inducible degron system for acute in vivo protein degradation.
Combined transcript analysis with genome-wide binding measurements to identify transcription factor target genes.
Identified that E2A, Ebf1, and Pax5 independently regulate most genes and activate gene expression by opening chromatin.
Demonstrated that Ikaros and Aiolos act as co-repressors regulating their gene targets.
Showed that PAX5-JAK2 fusion protein leads to aggressive B cell leukemia, indicating a dual-hit mechanism affecting transcription factor function.

Investigates transcription factors' roles in B cell development, suggesting implications for related diseases.
