MYC Was Originally cloned From a transforming Virus

Myc is a Transcription Factor Which Dimerizes With a Leucine Zipper and binds
to DNA Via a Helix-Loop-Helix

Myc is part of pathway that promotes Cell Proliferation

Myc Targets a Huge Array of Genes to Perform This Function

Myc is a Family of Three
Proteins, in Which Each Possesses a
Slightly different Function

Overexpression of Each Specific Myc Protein Is Responsible for Corresponding Tumor Types
Neuroblastoma (N-myc)
Small Cell Lung Cancer (L-myc)Burkitt’s Lymphoma (c-myc)

c-Myc Overexpression Can Induce Tumors

Burkitt’s Lymphoma
• 2% of Lymphoproliferative Disorders• C-myc translocation associated with ALL cases– 85% involve translocation to IGH
