Background

MAX (MYC Associated Factor X, also known as BHLHd4) is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHZ) family of transcription factors. It is able to form homodimers and heterodimers with other family members, which include Mad, Mxi1 and Myc. MAX forms a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein complex with MYC or MAD which recognizes the core sequence 5-CAC[GA]TG-3. The MYC:MAX complex is a transcriptional activator, whereas the MAD:MAX complex is a repressor. May repress transcription via the recruitment of a chromatin remodeling complex containing H3 Lys-9 histone methyltransferase activity.
