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) | ||||
Primpol | DNA-directed primase/polymerase protein; DNA primase and DNA polymerase required to tolerate replication-stalling lesions by bypassing them. Required to facilitate mitochondrial and nuclear replication fork progression by initiating de novo DNA synthesis using dNTPs and acting as an error-prone DNA polymerase able to bypass certain DNA lesions (By similarity). Shows a high capacity to tolerate DNA damage lesions such as 8oxoG and abasic sites in DNA (By similarity). Provides different translesion synthesis alternatives when DNA replication is stalled: able to synthesize DNA primers dow [...] (537 aa) |
