This study uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system to investigate c‑Myc phosphorylation, stability, and protein interactions. c‑Myc was shown to undergo sequential, interdependent phosphorylation at threonine 58 and serine 62 in yeast, mirroring regulation observed in mammalian cells and affecting protein stability. Yeast orthologs of known mammalian regulatory proteins similarly influenced these phosphorylation events, validating yeast as a relevant model. A yeast two‑hybrid screen identified ten novel c‑Myc interacting proteins, including HBP1, a tumor suppressor. HBP1 was found to bind c‑Myc and inhibit its transcriptional activity, providing new insight into c‑Myc regulation and tumor suppression. 000000605 540__ $$fCC BY 000000605 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000605 650__ $$aBreast Neoplasms$$015809 000000605 650__ $$aSignal Transduction$$028380 000000605 650__ $$aProto-Oncogene Proteins c-myc$$029021 000000605 650__ $$aProtein Stability$$038363 000000605 650__ $$aRepressor Proteins$$025328 000000605 650__ $$aBreast$$015806 000000605 6531_ $$acancer 000000605 6531_ $$aaxin 000000605 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000605 692__ $$aDepartment of Molecular and Medical Genetics$$041428 000000605 7001_ $$aZhang, Xiaoli$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000605 8564_ $$93fa03977-ef51-4bdd-99f4-526732efc039$$s3088888$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/605/files/606_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$237c5f7e4c890768aef68dc54ccfbd7c4$$31 000000605 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
