Sequence-specific DNA binding by Myc proteins
E Kerkhoff et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1991.
Abstract
Myc proteins have a tripartite carboxyl-terminal domain containing specific amino acid sequence motifs: a basic motif, a helix-loop-helix motif, and a leucine heptad repeat. Similar sequence motifs have been identified in several eukaryotic transcription factors and were shown to facilitate protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions. By using recombinant v-Myc proteins obtained by bacterial expression of full-length or partially deleted avian v-myc alleles, the functional relevance of these sequence motifs for Myc protein oligomerization and for DNA binding was investigated. All recombinant v-Myc proteins that have retained the carboxyl-terminal domain dimerize and specifically bind to double-stranded DNA containing the palindromic core sequence CACGTG. This and a closely related DNA sequence element have been defined previously as part of the binding sites for human transcription factors USF and TFE3, which specifically bind to the adenovirus major late promoter or the muE3 motif within the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer, respectively. It is shown that a 61-amino-acid peptide sequence containing only the bipartite basic motif/helix-loop-helix domain of Myc is necessary and sufficient for dimerization and sequence-specific DNA binding of v-Myc recombinant proteins.
