V-Myb Myeloblastosis Viral Oncogene Homolog Like Protein 1 (MYBL1)
Nomura et al. (1988) isolated and characterized cDNA clones for 2 human MYB-related genes, and BMYB. Using probes in Southern blot analysis of rodent-human hybrid DNAs, Barletta et al. (1991) localized the MYBL1 locus to 8cen-q22 and refined the localization to 8q22-q23 by in situ hybridization. MYBL1 mRNA is expressed mainly in testis and peripheral blood leukocytes. AMYB could activate transcription from the promoter-containing MYB-binding sites in all cells examined. In addition to the 2 domains (a DNA-binding domain and a transcriptional activation domain), 2 negative regulatory domains were identified in the MYBL1 gene. These results indicated that the gene functions as a transcriptional activator and that the regulatory mechanism of gene activity is similar to that of the MYB gene.
