The transcription factor Myc was initially identified as a potent proto-oncogene in vertebrates. Later it was shown to control a variety of physiological processes during normal development, most notably cellular growth and proliferation. These different activities of Myc can be largely explained by the nature of its transcriptional targets that have been identified in recent years. Much less is known, however, about the molecular mechanisms how Myc controls the expression of these targets in vivo.
