Abstract excerpt
The four members of the MAD family are bHLHZip proteins that heterodimerize with MAX and act as transcriptional repressors. The switch from MYC-MAX complexes to MAD-MAX complexes has been postulated to couple cell-cycle arrest with differentiation. The ectopic expression of Mad1 in transgenic mice led to early postnatal lethality and dwarfism and had a profound inhibitory effect on the proliferation of the...
