Abstract excerpt
Mad1 is a member of the Mad family. This family is part of the larger Myc/Max/Mad b-HLH-LZ eukaryotic transcription-factor network. Mad1 forms a specific heterodimer with Max and acts as a transcriptional repressor when bound to an E-box sequence (CACGTG) found in the promoter of c-Myc target genes. Mad1 cannot form a complex with DNA by itself under physiological conditions. A global model for the molecular...
