cd18930: bHLHzip_MXI1 
basic Helix-Loop-Helix-zipper (bHLHzip) domain found in Max-interacting protein 1 (MXI1) and similar proteins
MXI1, also termed Max interactor 1, or Class C basic helix-loop-helix protein 11 (bHLHc11), is a bHLHZip transcriptional repressor that binds with MAX to form a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein complex which recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. It thus antagonizes MYC transcriptional activity by competing for MAX. It plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation.

Feature 1:putative DNA binding site [nucleic acid binding site]
Evidence:
  • Comment:The N-terminal basic region of bHLHzip mediates high-affinity DNA-binding to specific hexanucleotide sequences
  • Comment:Based on the structure evidence that Homo sapiens Mad transcription factor (1NLW) basic region binds the DNA.
