Mybgenesare part of a largegene familyoftranscription factorsfound in animals and plants. In humans, it includesMyb proto-oncogene like 1andMyb-related protein Bin addition toMYBproper.[5][6]Members of the extendedSANT/Mybfamily also include theSANT domainand other similar all-helicalhomeobox-like domains.

Function

edit

Viral

edit

The Myb gene family is named after the eponymous gene inAvian myeloblastosis virus.The viral Myb (v-Myb,P01104) recognizes the sequence 5'-YAACKG-3'. It causes myeloblastosis (myeloid leukemia) in chickens.[7]Compared to the normal animal cellular Myb (c-myb), v-myb contains deletions in the C-terminal regulatory domain, leading to aberrant activation of other oncogenes.[8]

Animals

edit

Myb proto-oncogene protein is a member of the MYB (myeloblastosis) family oftranscription factors.The protein contains three domains, anN-terminalDNA-binding domain,a central transcriptional activation domain and a C-terminal domain involved in transcriptionalrepression.It may play a role in cell cycle regulation. Like the viral version, this gene is anoncogene,and rearrangements of the gene (often involving deletion in the C-terminal domain) causes cancer.[8]

Plants

edit

MYB factors represent a family of proteins that include the conserved MYB DNA-binding domain. Plants contain a MYB-protein subfamily that is characterised by the R2R3-type MYB domain.[9]

In maize,phlobaphenesare synthesized in the flavonoids synthetic pathway[10]from polymerisation offlavan-4-ols[11][12]which encodes an R2R3 myb-liketranscriptional activator[13]of the A1 gene encoding for thedihydroflavonol 4-reductase(reducingdihydroflavonolsinto flavan-4-ols)[14]while another gene (Suppressor of Pericarp Pigmentation 1 or SPP1) acts as asuppressor.[15]The maize P gene encodes a Myb homolog that recognizes the sequence CCWACC, in sharp contrast with the YAACGG bound by vertebrate Myb proteins.[16]

In sorghum, the corresponding yellow seed 1 gene (y1)[17]also encodes a R2R3 type of Myb domain protein that regulates the expression ofchalcone synthase,chalcone isomeraseanddihydroflavonol reductasegenes required for the biosynthesis of3-deoxyflavonoids.[18]

Ruby is a MYB transcriptional activator of genes that produceanthocyaninin citrus fruits. In most citrus varieties Ruby is non-functional, but in blood oranges it upregulates anthocyanin production to produce the characteristic red color of the fruit.[19]
