A strong and highly conserved idues within the transactivation domain and by complex transcriptional activation domain is located within the amino formation with the retinoblastoma-related protein p107. terminus of Myc proteins (Kato et al., 1990). Importantly, both In Burkitt’s lymphoma, missense mutations within the the transactivation domain and the DNA binding domain are c-Myc transactivation domain have been found with required for transformation (Stone et TI - Functional Analysis of Burkitt's Lymphoma Mutant c-Myc Proteins JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry DO - 10.1074/jbc.271.10.5513 DA - 1996-03-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/functional-analysis-of-burkitt-s-lymphoma-mutant-c-myc-proteins-2a8wTja6Y0 DP - DeepDyve ER -
