Abstract excerpt
Members of the Mad family of bHLHZip proteins heterodimerize with Max and function to repress the transcriptional and transforming activities of the Myc proto-oncogene. Mad:Max heterodimers repress transcription by recruiting a large multi-protein complex containing the histone deacetylases, HDAC1 and HDAC2, to DNA. The interaction between Mad proteins and HDAC1/2 is mediated by the corepressor mSin3A and...
