Abstract excerpt
The b-HLH-LZ family of transcription factors contains numerous proteins including the Myc and Mad families of proteins. Max heterodimerizes with other members to bind the E-Box DNA sequence in target gene promoters. Max is the only protein in this network that recognizes and binds E-Box DNA sequences as a homodimer in vitro and represses transcription of Myc target genes in vivo. Key information such as the...
