“…Studies from a number of different laboratories have shown that the v-Myb protein is nuclear, binds to specific DNA sequences as a monomer, and can activate the expression of reporter genes (Boyle et al, 1984;Klempnauer et al, 1984;Biedenkapp et al, 1988;Garcia et al, 1991). In addition, both v-Myb and its normal cellular homologue c-Myb have been shown to be capable of activating gene expression in a variety of cell types Nishina et al, 1989;Weston and Bishop, 1989;Ibanez and Lipsick, 1990;Nakagoshi et al, 1992;Siu et al, 1992;Cogswell et al, 1993;Ku et al, 1993;Melotti and Calabretta, 1994;Burk et al, 1997;Worpenberg et al, 1997;Schlichter et al, 2001;Chen et al, 2002;Bartley et al, 2003;Rushton et al, 2003;Braas et al, 2004;Lang et al, 2005;Liu et al, 2006).…”
