SUMMARY Regulation of multicellular architecture involves a dynamic equilibrium between cell proliferation, differentiation with consequent growth arrest, and cell death. Apoptosis is one particular form of active cell death that is extremely rapid and characterized by auto-destruction of chromatin, cellular bleb bing and condensation, and vesicularization of internal components.
All known transcription factors of the bHLHZ class require dimerization with a partner in order to bind DNA and exert their action. Therefore, to confirm further that c-Myc controls both mitogenic and apoptotic functions of c-Myc by a transcriptional mechanism, we investigated whether both of these functions required c-Myc to interact with its partner bHLHZ protein Max. Unfortunately, Max is ubiquitously expressed, making it impossible to ask directly if c-Myc can act in the absence of Max. We therefore made use of mutants of c-Myc and Max that have reciprocally exchanged dimerization specificities, such that the c-Myc mutant (MycEG) can no longer interact with wild-type Max but can dimerize with Myc-induced apoptosis G.
