Human parafibromin binds to RNA polymerase II as part of a PAF1 transcriptional regulatory complex. The physiologic targets of parafibromin and the mechanism by which its loss of function can lead to neoplastic transformation are poorly understood. We show here that RNA interference with the expression of parafibromin or Paf1 stimulates cell proliferation and increases levels of the\n                    <jats:italic>c-myc<\/jats:italic>\n                    proto-oncogene product, a DNA-binding protein and established regulator of cell growth. This effect results from both c-myc protein stabilization and activation of the\n                    <jats:italic>c-myc<\/jats:italic>\n                    promoter, without alleviation of the\n                    <jats:italic>c-myc<\/jats:italic>\n                    transcriptional pause. Chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrates the occupancy of the\n                    <jats:italic>c-myc<\/jats:italic>\n                    promoter by parafibromin and other PAF1 complex subunits in native cells. Knockdown of\n                    <jats:italic>c-myc<\/jats:italic>\n                    blocks the proliferative effect of RNA interference with parafibromin or Paf1 expression. These experiments provide a previously uncharacterized mechanism for the anti-proliferative action of the parafibromin tumor suppressor protein resulting from PAF1 complex-mediated inhibition of the\n                    <jats:italic>c-myc<\/jats:italic>\n                    proto-oncogene.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0710725105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,5]],"date-time":"2008-11-05T21:25:33Z","timestamp":1225920333000},"page":"17420-17425","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1073\/pnas.cm10313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":89,"title":["The parafibromin tumor suppressor protein inhibits cell proliferation by repression of the\n                    <i>c-myc<\/i>\n                    proto-oncogene"],"prefix":"10.1073","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Ling","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Metabolic Diseases Branch, Building. 10 Room 8C-101, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian-Hua","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metabolic Diseases Branch, Building. 10 Room 8C-101, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leelamma M.","family":"Panicker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metabolic Diseases Branch, Building. 10 Room 8C-101, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William F.","family":"Simonds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metabolic Diseases Branch, Building. 10 Room 8C-101, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"341","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng1048"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","first-page":"1006","article-title":"Hereditary hyperparathyroidism and multiple ossifying jaw fibromas: A clinically and genetically distinct syndrome","volume":"108","author":"Jackson CE","year":"1990","unstructured":"CE Jackson, et al., Hereditary hyperparathyroidism and multiple ossifying jaw fibromas: A clinically and genetically distinct syndrome.
