Structure of the yeast TAP1 protein: dependence of transcription activation on the DNA context of the target gene.

abstract：:To gain insight into the role of Myc family oncoproteins and their associated protein Max in vertebrate growth and development, we sought to identify homologs in the zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio). A combination of a polymerase chain reaction-based cloning strategy and low-stringency hybridization screening allowed fo...
