Deregulated c-Myc expression is a hallmark of many human cancers. We have recently identified a role of mammalian homolog of yeast SPT-ADA-GCN5-acetyltransferas (SAGA) complex component, SAGA-associated factor 29 (SGF29), in regulating the c-Myc overexpression. Here, we discuss the molecular nature of SFG29 in SPT3-TAF9-GCN5-acetyltransferase complex, a counterpart of yeast SAGA complex, and the mechanism through which the elevated SGF29 expression contribute to oncogenic potential of c-Myc in hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC). We propose that the upstream regulation of SGF29 elicited by sex-determining region Y (Sry) is also augmented in HCC. We hypothesize that c-Myc elevation driven by the deregulated Sry and SGF29 pathway is implicated in the male specific acquisition of human HCCs.
c-Myc表达失调是许多人类癌症的一个标志。我们最近发现酵母SPT-ADA-GCN5-乙酰转移酶(SAGA)复合物成分的哺乳动物同源物,即SAGA相关因子29(SGF29)在调节c-Myc过表达中发挥作用。在此,我们讨论了SPT3-TAF9-GCN5-乙酰转移酶复合物(酵母SAGA复合物的对应物)中SFG29的分子特性,以及SGF29表达升高促进肝细胞癌(HCC)中c-Myc致癌潜力的机制。我们提出,性别决定区域Y(Sry)引发的SGF29上游调控在HCC中也会增强。我们假设,由失调的Sry和SGF29途径驱动的c-Myc升高与人类HCC的男性特异性获得有关。
