Taniuchi and colleagues describe the generation and phenotype of a mouse model carrying a defective Bcl11b allele encoding a mutant protein corresponding to BCL11B-N441K previously associated with human disease. They further characterize the molecular interactions between the mutant BCL11B protein and other transcription factors involved in early thymocyte development.
