Production of a functional full-length Xenopus laevis c-Myc protein in insect cells.

???displayArticle.abstract???
C-Myc is a nuclear phosphoprotein whose normal cellular function has not yet been clearly defined. Studies with this protein have always been constrained by the difficulty of obtaining full-length c-Myc in an active form, whatever the expression system used. We report here experimental conditions optimized to increase the solubility and the purification of c-Myc in a baculovirus expression system. Such conditions allow the production of both soluble and active full-length c-Myc. Interestingly, soluble c-Myc is found associated with a 500-kDa high-molecular-mass complex comparable to that found in human and Xenopus laevis embryos, and which may be required for its function in vivo.
