MXD proteins are transcription repressors that antagonize the E-box dependent activation of genes by MYC. MYC together with MIZ1 acts also as a repressor of a subset of genes, including cell cycle inhibitor genes such as p15 and p21. A role of MXDs in regulation of MYC-repressed genes is not known. Here we report that MXDs are functionally expressed in U2OS cells and activate transcription of p15 and p21, and other MYC-repressed genes. Activation of transcription was dependent on the interaction of MXDs with MIZ1, and on an intact DNA binding domain. MIZ1-binding deficient MXD mutants interacted with MAX and were active as repressors of MYC-activated genes but failed to activate MYC-repressed genes. Mutant MXDs with reduced DNA binding affinity interacted with MAX and MIZ1 but neither repressed nor activated transcription. Overexpression of MXDs attenuated proliferation of U2OS cells predominantly via MIZ1-dependent induction of p21. Our data show that MXDs and MYC have a reciprocally antagonistic potential to regulate transcription of mutual target genes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
