Abstract

The dihydrofolate reductase is a key enzyme of the folate metabolism which supplies the cell with dTTPs for DNA synthesis. Using cellular extracts, we demonstrate the formation of c-Myc/Max heterodimers at the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) 5' flanking CANNTG (E-box) motifs. The presence of these complexes correlates with c-Myc levels and active cellular proliferation.
