Multiple Ras-dependent phosphorylation pathways regulate Myc protein stability.
Our recent work has shown that activation of the Ras/Raf/ERK pathway extends the half-life of the Myc protein and thus enhances the accumulation of Myc activity. We have extended these observations by investigating two N-terminal phosphorylation sites in Myc, Thr 58 and Ser 62, which are known to be regulated by mitogen stimulation. We now show that the phosphorylation of these two residues is ...
متن کاملGetting at MYC through RAS.
The discovery of oncogenes provided insight into the molecular underpinnings of cancer and suggested the promise of novel molecular strategies for cancer treatment as highlighted in this issue by Yaari et al. and by Bishop previously (1, 2). However, only recently have effective drugs that target oncogenes been successfully introduced into the clinical setting. The flagship example of a targete...
متن کاملRepression of Myc-Ras cotransformation by Mad is mediated by multiple protein-protein interactions.
Mad is a bHLH/Zip protein that, as a heterodimer with Max, can repress Myc-induced transcriptional transactivation. Expression of Mad is induced upon terminal differentiation of several cell types, where it has been postulated to down-regulate Myc-induced genes that drive cell proliferation. Here we show that Mad also blocks transformation of primary rat embryo fibroblasts by c-Myc and the acti...
متن کاملDirect reprogramming by oncogenic Ras and Myc.
Genetically or epigenetically defined reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer cells. However, a causal association between genome reprogramming and cancer has not yet been conclusively established. In particular, little is known about the mechanisms that underlie metastasis of cancer, and even less is known about the identity of metastasizing cancer cells. In this study, we used a model of condit...
متن کاملc-myc Gene-induced Alterations in Protein Kinase C Expression: A Possible Mechanism Facilitating myc-ras Gene Complementation1
The mechanism(s) by which the c-myc nuclear protein and the mem brane-associated ras protein interact to mediate phenotypic changes is unknown. We now find that c-mcy gene expression is associated with alterations in the principal signal transduction pathway through which the ras protein is thought to function. We studied the transcript and protein expression of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms ...
