Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Myc oncoprotein is an important regulator of cellular growth in metazoan organisms. Its levels and activity are tightly controlled in vivo by a variety of mechanisms. In normal cells, Myc protein is rapidly degraded, but the mechanism of its degradation is not well understood. RESULTS: Here we present genetic and biochemical evidence that Archipelago (Ago), the F box component of an SCF-ubiquitin...
