Transcriptional trans-repression by the c-myb proto-oncogene product.

چکیده
We report that the c-myb protein binds to another site, MBS-II, in the SV40 enhancer with low affinity. In co-transfection experiments with a c-myb expression plasmid, tandem repeats of the sequence containing the MBS-II site induced c-myb-dependent transcriptional repression. Results of mutational analyses of the sequence around the MBS-II site suggested that the c-myb protein represses transcription by competing with another trans-activator. These results indicate that c-myb protein can regulate transcription not only positively but also negatively.

c-Myb-induced trans-activation mediated by heat shock elements without sequence-specific DNA binding of c-Myb.
The c-myb proto-oncogene product (c-Myb) can transactivate the human hsp70 promoter in a transient cotransfection assay. The present studies have demonstrated that the heat shock element (HSE) in the hsp70 promoter mediates trans-activation by c-Myb. Mutagenesis of the DNA sequence in HSE indicated that the NGAAN motif is necessary for not only the heat shock response but also the c-Myb-induced...
متن کاملMAZ induces MYB expression during the exit from quiescence via the E2F site in the MYB promoter
Most E2F-binding sites repress transcription through the recruitment of Retinoblastoma (RB) family members until the end of the G1 cell-cycle phase. Although the MYB promoter contains an E2F-binding site, its transcription is activated shortly after the exit from quiescence, before RB family members inactivation, by unknown mechanisms. We had previously uncovered a nuclear factor distinct from ...
متن کاملThe carboxyterminus of human c-myb protein stimulates activated transcription in trans
The cellular c-myb gene encodes a transcription factor composed of a DNA-binding domain, a transactivating domain and a regulatory domain located at its carboxy (C-) terminus. The latter one is deleted in the transforming viral protein v-Myb. Here we show that deletion of the C-terminus of c-Myb increases the transcriptional transactivation activity of c-Myb defining it as cis-acting negative r...
متن کاملCBP as a transcriptional coactivator of c-Myb.
CBP (CREB-binding protein) is a transcriptional coactivator of CREB (cAMP response element-binding) protein, which is directly phosphorylated by PKA (cAMP-dependent protein kinase A). CBP interacts with the activated phosphorylated form of CREB but not with the nonphosphorylated form. We report here that CBP is also a coactivator of the c-myb proto-oncogene product (c-Myb), which is a sequence-...
متن کاملHuman T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 Tax represses c-Myb-dependent transcription through activation of the NF-kappaB pathway and modulation of coactivator usage.
The proto-oncogene c-myb is essential for a controlled balance between cell growth and differentiation. Aberrant c-Myb activity has been reported for numerous human cancers, and enforced c-Myb transcription can transform cells of lymphoid origin by stimulating cellular proliferation and inhibiting apoptotic pathways. Here we demonstrate that activation of the NF-kappaB pathway by the HTLV-1 Tax...
