MNT (gene)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max-binding protein MNT is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MNT gene.[3][4]
Function[edit]
The Myc/Max/Mad network comprises a group of transcription factors that co-interact to regulate gene-specific transcriptional activation or repression. This gene encodes a protein member of the Myc/Max/Mad network. This protein has a basic-Helix-Loop-Helix-zipper domain (bHLHzip) with which it binds the canonical DNA sequence CANNTG, known as the E box, following heterodimerization with Max proteins. This protein is likely a transcriptional repressor and an antagonist of Myc-dependent transcriptional activation and cell growth. This protein represses transcription by binding to DNA binding proteins at its N-terminal Sin3-interaction domain.[4]
Interactions[edit]
MNT (gene) has been shown to interact with MLX,[5][6] SIN3A[7] and MAX.[7]
