MYC proto-oncogene is a key player in cell homeostasis that is commonly deregulated in human carcinogenesis(1). MYC can either activate or repress target genes by forming a complex with MAX (ref. 2). MYC also exerts MAX-independent functions that are not yet fully characterized(3). Cells possess an intrinsic pathway that can abrogate MYC-MAX dimerization and E-box interaction, by inducing phosphorylation of MYC in a PAK2-dependent manner at three residues located in its helix-loop-helix domain(4 ...[more]
