Gene Editing Explained

SOLVED: Myc is a transcription factor that regulates cell proliferation; mutations in the m y gene contribute to many cases of the cancer Burkitt lymphoma. Initial experiments on Myc were puzzling. The Myc protein contains both a leucine zipper dimerization domain and a specialized type of helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain called a bHLH motif, but purified Myc can neither homodimerize nor bind to DNA efficiently.Discovery of the Max and Mad proteins helped resolve this dilemma. Like Myc, Max a
