Recent advances in searching c-Myc transcriptional cofactors during tumorigenesis
Background The mechanism by which c-Myc exerts its oncogenic functions is not completely clear and different hypotheses are still under investigation. The knowledge of the capacity of c-Myc to bind exclusively E-box sequences determined the discrepancy ...

PA2G4 Functions as a Cofactor for MYC Family Oncoproteins in MYC-Driven Malignancies
MYCN and c-MYC are critical driver oncogenes in several childhood cancers, including neuroblastoma. Currently, the clinical development of MYC inhibitors has been hindered by the intrinsically disordered structure of MYC proteins, which lack well-defined

Inhibition of c-Myc overcomes cytotoxic drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia cells by promoting differentiation. [PDF]
Nowadays, drug resistance still represents a major obstacle to successful acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment and the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. Here, we found that high expression of c-Myc was one of the cytogenetic characteristics

c-Myc induced changes in higher order rDNA structure accompany growth factor stimulation of quiescent cells [PDF]
Human c-Myc is believed to be a high level coordinator of protein synthesis capacity and cell growth rate, capable of activating transcription by all three nuclear RNA Polymerases.

The nucleolar RNA methyltransferase Misu (NSun2) is required for mitotic spindle stability [PDF]
Myc-induced SUN domain–containing protein (Misu or NSun2) is a nucleolar RNA methyltransferase important for c-Myc–induced proliferation in skin, but the mechanisms by which Misu contributes to cell cycle progression are unknown.

Nucleolar localization of hepatic c-Myc: a potential mechanism for c-Myc regulation
The c-myc proto-oncogene encodes a transcription factor that is involved in cell proliferation, growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Previous studies on the regulation of hepatic c-myc have focused on control of its mRNA expression, which generally correlates with hepatocyte proliferation during both liver development and liver regeneration. However,

Nucleophosmin interacts directly with c-Myc and controls c-Myc-induced hyperproliferation and transformation [PDF]
The transcription factor c-Myc is essential for cellular proliferation and is one of the most frequently activated oncogenes, but the molecular mechanism mediating its critical role in transformation is unclear. Like c-Myc, multifunctional nucleophosmin (NPM) is tightly regulated during proliferation and is overexpressed in several different types of ...

Direct Activation of HSP90A Transcription by c-Myc Contributes to c-Myc-induced Transformation [PDF]
The c-myc proto-oncogene encodes a ubiquitous transcription factor involved in the control of cell growth and differentiation and implicated in inducing tumorigenesis. Understanding the function of c-Myc and its role in cancer depends upon the identification of c-Myc target genes.

DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit modulates the stability of c-Myc oncoprotein
Background C-Myc is a short-lived oncoprotein that is destroyed by ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Dysregulated accumulation of c-Myc commonly occurs in human cancers. Some of those cases with the dysregulated c-Myc protein accumulation are attributed to
