Primary Identifier | IPR032060 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | MGA_dom |
description | This domain can be found in the MAX gene-associated protein (Mga), which is a dual-specificity transcription factor that contains both a bHLHZip domain and a T-box domain and is able to bind to and regulate transcriptional targets through both E-box sites as well as T-box-binding elements (TBEs) []. MAX gene-associated protein (MGA) is a dual-specificity transcription factor, acting as a repressor or an activator and binding to 5'-AATTTCACACCTAGGTGTGAAATT-3'. MGA regulates genes targeted by MYC-MAX, suppressing transcriptional activation by MYC and inhibiting MYC-dependent cell transformation. MGA binds DNA via a T-Box []. MGA is a component of the MLL1 complex []. |
