Evidence X-RAY The C-terminal domain comprising residues 93-150 is disordered in the study using the isoform 2 of Max (PubMed=9115440, P61244-2), which corresponds to the residues 103-160 in the isoform 1 (P61244-1). Reference
Region 103-160 disorder
SeqProS verified 22-34 The basic region of bHLH adapts a helical structure when the homo/hetero-dimer binds DNA.
Hetero dimer : IID00165Complex
Transcription regulator. Forms a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein complex with MYC or MAD which recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. The MYC:MAX complex is a transcriptional activator, whereas the MAD:MAX complex is a repressor. May repress transcription via the recruitment of a chromatin remodeling complex containing H3 'Lys-9' histone methyltransferase activity. Represses MYC transcriptional activity from E-box elements.
