Histone deacetylase HDAC1; Catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N- terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation may constitute a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. For instance, deacetylation of histone H3 may be a prerequisite for the subsequent recruitment of the histone methyltransferase Su(var)3-9 to histones. Involved in position-effect variegation (PEV). In the larval brain, part of a regulatory network including the transcript [...]

High mobility group protein 2 (Hmg-2) encodes a member of the non-histone chromosomal high-mobility group protein family. These proteins associate with with chromatin and are ubiquitously distributed in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. The product of Hmg-2 binds to DNA in a non-sequence specific fashion to induce structural changes in DNA that include bending and unwinding that in turn, promote DNA flexibility.

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase Su(var)3-9; Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 using monomethylated H3 'Lys-9' as substrate. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting Su(var)205/HP1 to methylated histones. Mainly functions in heterochromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the establishment of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentric regions. Involved in heterochromatic gene silencing including the modification of position-effect-variegation. Belongs to the cl [...]

GEO13032p1; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; transcription factor binding; transcription corepressor activity; transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding.

G9a, isoform B; G9a (G9a) encodes a histone-lysine methyltransferase involved in epigenetic regulation. It contributes to multiple processes including gene expression, dendrite morphogenesis, larval locomotory behavior as well as short and long-term memory.

Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein Mi-2 homolog; Mi-2 (Mi-2) encodes a nuclear ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeler of the CHD family. It associates with active chromatin and utilizes the energy of ATP hydrolysis to move nucleosomes along DNA. It is required for repression of cell type-specific genes, full activation of heat shock genes and regulates higher order chromatin structure of polytene chromosomes.

C-terminal-binding protein; Corepressor targeting diverse transcription regulators. Hairy-interacting protein required for embryonic segmentation and hairy-mediated transcriptional repression; Belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family.

Probable histone-binding protein Caf1; Core histone-binding subunit that may target chromatin assembly factors, chromatin remodeling factors and histone deacetylases to their histone substrates in a manner that is regulated by nucleosomal DNA. Component of several complexes which regulate chromatin metabolism. These include the chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) complex, which is required for chromatin assembly following DNA replication and DNA repair; the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex (the NuRD complex), which promotes transcriptional repression by histone deacetylati [...]

[Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] kinase, mitochondrial; Inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by phosphorylation of the E1 alpha subunit, thus contributing to the regulation of glucose metabolism; Belongs to the PDK/BCKDK protein kinase family.
