FOXQ1 recruits the MLL complex to activate transcription of EMT and promote breast cancer metastasis

Forkhead box transcription factor, FOXQ1 is reported to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer metastasis. Here the authors show that FOXQ1 recruits the KMT2/MLL histone methyltransferase complex as a transcriptional coactivator to activate EMT programme in breast cancer.
