Myc family oncoproteins function through a common pathway to transform normal cells in culture: cross-interference by Max and trans-acting dominant mutants.

Abstract excerpt

The myc family of cellular oncogenes encodes three highly related nuclear phosphoproteins (c-Myc, N-Myc, and L-Myc) that are believed to function as sequence-specific transcription factors capable of regulating genes important in cellular growth and differentiation. Current evidence indicates that Myc family proteins exist as biologically active heterodimeric complexes in association with another helix-loop-helix...
