cMyc is a protein that binds to DNA to regulate transcription. Bishop and collegues | cMyc is a protein that binds to DNA to regulate transcription. Bishop and collegues discovered viruses that induced chicken sarcomas. They studied the virus and identified an oncogene that would cause uncontrolled cellular proliferation. The viral oncogene that caused the sarcomas was identified as v-myc. Later on the homologous gene in chickens was discovered, and called c-myc. These findings provided evidence that activated cMyc proteins were significant in cellular growth regulation. | ||
