Transcriptional activation by c-Myc through specific E box
elements is thought to be essential for its biological role. However, c-MycS is unable to activate transcription through these elements and
yet retains the ability to stimulate proliferation, induce anchorage-independent growth, and induce apoptosis. In addition, c-MycS
retains the ability to repress transcription of several specific
promoters. Furthermore, c-MycS can rescue the c-myc null phenotype in fibroblasts with homozygous deletion of c-myc.
Taken together, our data argue against the paradigm that all of the biological functions of c-Myc are mediated by transcriptional activation of specific target genes through E box elements.
