Lüscher, B and Christenson, E and Litchfield, D W and Krebs, E G and Eisenman, R N (1990) Myb DNA binding inhibited by phosphorylation at a site deleted during oncogenic activation. Nature, 344 (6266). pp. 517-522. ISSN 0028-0836
Abstract
The c-Myb nuclear oncoprotein is phosphorylated in vitro and in vivo at an N-terminal site near its DNA-binding domain by casein kinase II (CK-II) or a CK-II-like activity. This in vitro phosphorylation reversibly inhibits the sequence-specific binding of c-Myb to DNA. The site of this phosphorylation is deleted in nearly all oncogenically activated Myb proteins, resulting in DNA-binding that is independent of CK-II. Because CK-II activity is modulated by growth factors, loss of the site could uncouple c-Myb from its normal physiological regulator.
