“…The activation activity of the NTD may also be influenced by interactions with the retinoblastoma (Rb)-related protein p107 (Beijersbergen et al, 1994;Gu et al, 1994;Hoang et al, 1995), whose binding to c-Myc may be modulated by cyclin D/CDK4 phosphorylation (Hass et al, 1997), or with the adaptor protein and tumor suppressor Bin1 (Sakamuro et al, 1996;Elliott et al, 1999). The NTD is also reported to interact with a-tubulin (Alexandrova et al, 1995), PAM, a large protein which includes RCC1-like repeats suggesting a role in chromatin regulation , MM-1, a nucleocytoplasmic adaptor protein that inhibits transactivation by c-Myc, and AMY-1, a small protein reported to potentiate the transactivation activity of cMyc (Taira et al, 1998). In addition to harboring a transactivation domain, the NTD also mediates transcriptional repression (Kaddurah-Daouk et al, 1987;Suen and Hung, 1991;Yang et al, 1991Yang et al, , 1993Jansen-Durr et al, 1993;Roy et al, 1993;Li et al, 1994;Philipp et al, 1994;Lee et al, 1996;Tikhonenko et al, 1997).…”
