Human proto-oncogene N-myc encodes nuclear proteins that bind DNA.
N-myc is a gene whose amplification has been implicated in the genesis of several malignant human tumors. We have identified two proteins with molecular weights of 65,000 and 67,000 encoded by N-myc. The abundance of these proteins in tumor cells was consonant with the extent of amplification of N-myc. The two proteins apparently arose from the same mRNA, were phosphorylated, were exceptionally...
متن کاملThe protein encoded by the human proto-oncogene c-myc.
The proto-oncogene c-myc may play a role in controlling the growth and division of normal cells, and abnormalities of the gene have been implicated in the genesis of a substantial variety of human tumors. To facilitate further study of these issues, we developed antisera that permit the identification and isolation of the protein encoded by the human and other mammalian versions of c-myc. We fo...
متن کاملThe expression of the developmentally regulated proto-oncogene Pax-3 is modulated by N-Myc.
N-Myc is a member of the Myc family of transcription factors that have been shown to play a pivotal role in cell proliferation and differentiation. In this report, we have investigated the relationship between N-Myc and the developmental control gene Pax-3. Using transient transfection assays, we show that the Pax-3 promoter is activated by both N-Myc-Max and c-Myc-Max. Moreover, we show that M...
متن کاملMolecular-genetic analysis of myc and c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene alterations in human carcinoma.
The results of recent studies on the molecular biology of cancer suggest the abnormal expression of cellular proto-oncogenes in the process of carcinogenesis [1]. The activation of proto-oncogenes, i.e., their conversion into cellular oncogenes, is associated with gene structural alterations and mutations resulting in the unregulated production of oncoproteins, matched by deranged biological fu...
متن کاملExpression of L-myc and N-myc proto-oncogenes in human leukemias and leukemia cell lines.
The myc proto-oncogenes encode nuclear phosphoproteins, which are believed to participate in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. Deregulated expression of c-myc has been implicated in several human hematopoietic malignancies. We have studied the expression and mRNA processing of human L-myc, N-myc, and c-myc genes in a panel of human leukemias, leukemia cell lines, and normal...
