Myc 家族蛋白似乎通过与稳定、组成型表达的 bHLH-Zip 蛋白 Max 异二聚化来发挥作用。为了确定 Max 是否介导 Myc 以外的调节蛋白的功能,我们筛选了带有放射性标记 Max 蛋白的 lambdagt11 表达文库。鉴定出的一个 cDNA 编码 bHLH-Zip 蛋白家族的新成员 Mad。人 Mad 蛋白同二聚化效果较差,但在体外与 Max 结合,形成序列特异性 DNA 结合复合物,其特性与 Myc-Max 非常相似。 Myc-Max 和 Mad-Max 异源复合物均优于 Max 同二聚体,并且与 Max 同二聚体不同,异二聚体的 DNA 结合活性不受 CKII 磷酸化的影响。 Mad 不与 Myc 或代表性的 bHLH、bZip 或 bHLH-Zip 蛋白结合。体内反式激活测定表明,Myc-Max 和 Mad-Max 复合物在转录中具有相反的功能,并且 Max 在该转录因子网络中发挥着核心作用。
Myc family proteins appear to function through heterodimerization with the stable, constitutively expressed bHLH-Zip protein, Max. To determine whether Max mediates the function of regulatory proteins other than Myc, we screened a lambdagt11 expression library with radiolabeled Max protein. One cDNA identified encodes a new member of the bHLH-Zip protein family, Mad. Human Mad protein homodimerizes poorly but binds Max in vitro, forming a sequence-specific DNA binding complex with properties very similar to those of Myc-Max. Both Myc-Max and Mad-Max heterocomplexes are favored over Max homodimers, and, unlike Max homodimers, the DNA binding activity of the heterodimers is unaffected by CKII phosphorylation. Mad does not associate with Myc or with representative bHLH, bZip, or bHLH-Zip proteins. In vivo transactivation assays suggest that Myc-Max and Mad-Max complexes have opposing functions in transcription and that Max plays a central role in this network of transcription factors.
