MYC and MYCN bind to E boxes in the ALK promoter region to drive ALK gene expression as assessed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and reporter gene assays (Hasan et al, 2013). In turn, other studies have identified MYCN as a target of activated ALK in neuroblastoma, suggesting the ALK and MYCN may cooperate in driving progression of this disease (Schonherr et al, 2012; De Brouwer et al, 2010; Montavon et al, 2014; reviewed in Hallberg and Palmer, 2013)
