The polyoma virus large T binding protein p150 is a transcriptional repressor of c-MYC. PLoS ONE 7(9): e46486.1932-6203http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:10522887p150, product of the SALL2 gene, is a binding partner of the polyoma virus large T antigen and a putative tumor suppressor. p150 binds to the nuclease hypersensitive element of the c-MYC promoter and represses c-MYC transcription. Overexpression of p150 in human ovarian surface epithelial cells leads to decreased expression, and downregulation to increased expression, of c-MYC. c-MYC is repressed upon restoration of p150 to ovarian carcinoma cells. Induction of apoptosis by etoposide results in recruitment of p150 to the c-MYC promoter and to repression of c-MYC. Analysis of data in The Cancer Genome Atlas shows negative correlations between SALL2 and c-MYC expression in four common solid tumor types.en-USBiologyBiochemistryProteinsDNA-binding proteinsProtein InteractionsMicrobiologyMolecular Cell BiologySignal TransductionSignaling CascadesApoptotic Signaling CascadeSignaling in Cellular ProcessesApoptotic SignalingProteomicsMedicineOncologyJournal Article2013-04-1010.1371/journal.pone.0046486
