NCIt definition : Human Oncogene MYB is a mutated variant of MYB Gene, which encodes 6 alternative isoforms
of 640 aa 72-kDa nuclear c-MYB protein, a DNA-binding transcriptional activator critical
for hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation. MYB contains
3 N-terminal MYB-like DNA-binding domains that specifically recognize YAAC[GT]G, a
central transcriptional activation domain and a C-terminal transcriptional repression
domain. MYB may interact with HIPK2 and NLK; phosphorylation by NLK on multiple sites
may induce proteasomal degradation. Ubiquitination may be mediated by SIAH1. Oncogene
MYB disrupts normal cell function.;
