Ascl1 | Achaete-scute homolog 1; Transcription factor that plays a key role in neuronal differentiation: acts as a pioneer transcription factor, accessing closed chromatin to allow other factors to bind and activate neural pathways. Directly binds the E box motif (5'-CANNTG- 3') on promoters and promotes transcription of neuronal genes. The combination of three transcription factors, ASCL1, POU3F2/BRN2 and MYT1L, is sufficient to reprogram fibroblasts and other somatic cells into induced neuronal (iN) cells in vitro. Plays a role at early stages of development of specific neural lineages in mo [...] (231 aa) | ||||
Fastk | Fas-activated serine/threonine kinase; Phosphorylates the splicing regulator TIA1, thereby promoting the inclusion of FAS exon 6, which leads to an mRNA encoding a pro- apoptotic form of the receptor (By similarity). Required for the biogenesis of some mitochondrial-encoded mRNAs, specifically stabilizes ND6 (NADH dehydrogenase complex subunit 6) mRNA, and regulates its levels; Belongs to the FAST protein kinase family.
