motifs/domains
  • three functional domains responsible for DNA binding, transcriptional activation, and negative regulation

  • centrally located transcriptional activation domain binds to the transcriptional coactivator CBP
  • a WD40 domain, negative regulator in the C-terminal portion of MYB interacts with the corepressors TRIM28 and ZMYND11

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the proliferation of immature hematopoietic cells, as well as hematopoietic cell differentiation
  • inducing DNA binding
  • effector of estrogen/ER signaling and have a functional role in breast cancer
  • controls SNAI2 transcription in tumor cells of different origin
  • functional relationship between MYB and metastasis-associated SNAI2 in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cancer cells
  • role for MYB at the hub of ER- and HER2-dependent pathways in mammary carcinogenesis
  • critical role of MYB in promoting ERBIN transcription in G2/M phase
  • MYB- activity is regulated by various post-translational modifications
  • potential integration of MYB into regulatory networks during hard-tissue differentiation and mineralization
  • role for MYB in the regulation of stem cells
  • is identified as a novel regulator of PAX7 in early neural crest development
  • has an early, crucial and conserved role in multiciliogenesis, and it promotes likely a novel S-like phase in which centriole amplification occurs uncoupled from DNA synthesis
  • acts in a conserved pathway downstream of Notch signaling and multicilin, a protein related to the S-phase regulator geminin, and upstream of FOXJ1
  • is involved in regulating the differentiation program of myogenic progenitor cells as its expression blocks myoblast fusion
  • MYB and BCL11A cooperate with DNMT1 to achieve developmental repression of embryonic and fetal beta-like globin genes in the adult erythroid environment
  • transcription factor MYB is a key regulator that permits early multilineage differentiation of airway epithelial cells
  • key regulator of hematopoiesis, including having critical roles in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)
  • specific role for MYB in KRT14+ epithelial cells in the preservation of adult skin integrity and function
  • may play a specific role in hard tissue formation
  • transcription factor involved in the regulation and promotion of endochondral bone formation
  • is a transcription factor with multifaceted target regulation depending on cell type
  • transcription factor regulating the expression of a wide array of genes involved in cellular functions

    INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • target of estrogen/ER signaling
  • interacting with MAF (modulation of MYB activity may be an important mechanism for the control of gene transcription during hematopoietic cell development)
  • cooperates with CASP8AP2 in foci associated with active POLR2A, leading to enhancement of MYB-dependent gene activation
  • target genes including MYC, BCL2 and GBX2 which are involved in cell cycle control, blockage of apoptosis, and growth and differentiation control, respectively
  • interacting with HIPK1
  • HBS1L-MYB intergenic interval associated with elevated HbF levels
  • activates SNAI2 expression through a transcriptional mechanism in embryonic kidney, colon carcinoma, chronic myeloid leukemia and neuroblastoma cells
  • PIAS1 is a common partner for two cancer-related nuclear factors, MYB and CASP8AP2 (functional cooperation between CASP8AP2 and PIAS1 in the enhancement of MYB activity in active nuclear foci)
  • interaction of MYB with MYB site in the ERBIN promoter was significantly enhanced in G2/M phase
  • FBXW5 enhanced sumoylation of nuclear MYB and induced the localization of MYB to nuclear dot-like domains
  • FBXW5 enhances sumoylation of MYB in the nucleus, which suppresses MYB activity
  • FBXW5-mediated sumoylation of MYB may enhance the repression of some MYB target gene
  • MYB is identified as a novel regulator of PAX7 in early neural crest development
  • KIX domains of CREBBP, and especially EP300, are principal mediators of MYB-dependent gene activation and repression that is required for definitive hematopoiesis
  • PIAS1 causes activation or repression of MYB dependent target genes
  • PIAS1 acts as a "protein inhibitor of activated MYB" in the absence of SUMOylation while, in its presence, PIAS1 behaves as a "protein activator of repressed MYB"
  • MYB expression is critical for myeloid leukemia development induced by SETBP1 activation
  • TGFB1I1 is a novel interaction partner of the nuclear kinase HIPK1 and TGFB1I1, like HIPK1, also interacts with the transcription factor MYB
  • TGFB1I1 and HIPK1 assist MYB in recruiting the coactivator and acetyltransferase EP300 to chromatin
  • MAZ is essential to bypass MYB promoter repression by RB1 family members and to induce MYB expression
  • ATF4 binds within the HBS1L-MYB intergenic enhancer and regulates expression of MYB, a known gamma-globin regulator
