Myc Tag Information

A myc tag is a polypeptide protein tag derived from the c-myc gene product that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.

A myc tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a myc-tag allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the Myc epitope. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by Western blotting.

The peptide sequence of the myc-tag is: N-EQKLISEEDL-C (1202 Da). It can be fused to the C-terminus and the N-terminus of a protein. It is advisable not to fuse the tag directly behind the signal peptide of a secretory protein, since it can interfere with translocation into the secretory pathway.

Background Information

The BIN1 protein, which is encoded by the BIN1 gene, belongs to Myc-interacting protein family which is one of the nucleocytoplasmic adaptor proteins. The BIN1 protein can interact with the functionally critically Myc-box region at the N-terminal of the Myc oncoprotein, with a feature of tumor suppressor. Myc family proteins promote proliferation, growth, and apoptosis and, when deregulated, are profoundly involved in the genesis of an extraordinarily wide range of cancers. Although BIN1 is expressed in many normal cells, its levels were greatly reduced or undetectable in 14/27 carcinoma cell lines and 3/6 primary breast tumours. Deficits were functionally Although BIN1 is expressed in many normal cells, its levels were greatly reduced or undetectable in 14/27 carcinoma cell lines and 3/6 primary breast tumours. Deficits were functionally significant because ectopic expression of BIN1 inhibited the growth of tumour cells lacking endogenous message. We conclude that BIN1 is an MYC-interacting protein with features of a tumour suppressor.
