Topics Covered

• Myc plays a broad role in cellular functions
• Deregulation of Myc is associated with many cancers
• Myc and Mxd proteins heterodimerize with Max, bind DNA, and activate or repress transcription through recruitment of co-regulator complexes that in turn influence chromatin modifications
• Myc family proteins are highly conserved and regulate cell growth by binding to many genes involved in translation and metabolism
• Myc also has functions unrelated to transcription
