MAD protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MXD1 gene. [5] [6]
MAD-MAX dimerization protein belongs to a subfamily of MAX-interacting proteins. This protein competes with MYC for binding to MAX to form a sequence-specific DNA-binding complex, acts as a transcriptional repressor (while MYC appears to function as an activator) and is a candidate tumor suppressor. [6]
MXD1 has been shown to interact with Histone deacetylase 2, [7] [8] SMC3, [9] MLX, [10] [11] SIN3A [12] [13] [14] and MAX. [9] [15] [16] [17]
An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells, these genes are often mutated, or expressed at high levels.
Myc is a family of regulator genes and proto-oncogenes that code for transcription factors. The Myc family consists of three related human genes: c-myc (MYC), l-myc (MYCL), and n-myc (MYCN). c-myc was the first gene to be discovered in this family, due to homology with the viral gene v-myc.
N-myc proto-oncogene protein also known as N-Myc or basic helix-loop-helix protein 37 (bHLHe37), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYCN gene.
Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HDAC1 gene.
MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYC gene which is a member of the myc family of transcription factors. The protein contains basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) structural motif.
Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HDAC2 gene. It belongs to the histone deacetylase class of enzymes responsible for the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues at the N-terminal region of the core histones. As such, it plays an important role in gene expression by facilitating the formation of transcription repressor complexes and for this reason is often considered an important target for cancer therapy.
Paired amphipathic helix protein Sin3a is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIN3A gene.
Histone-binding protein RBBP4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RBBP4 gene.
Transformation/transcription domain-associated protein, also known as TRRAP, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRRAP gene. TRRAP belongs to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase protein family.
Retinoblastoma-like 1 (p107), also known as RBL1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RBL1 gene.
MAX is a gene that in humans encodes the MAX transcription factor.
MAX-interacting protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MXI1 gene.
Sin3A-associated protein, 30kDa, also known as SAP30, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SAP30 gene.
HMG-box transcription factor 1, also known as HBP1, is a human protein.
Paired amphipathic helix protein Sin3b is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIN3B gene.
L-myc-1 proto-oncogene protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYCL1 gene.
N-myc-interactor also known as N-myc and STAT interactor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NMI gene.
Calcineurin-binding protein cabin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CABIN1 gene.
Max-interacting transcriptional repressor MAD4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MXD4 gene.
MNT is a Max-binding protein that is encoded by the MNT gene
