Smc3 | Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 3; Central component of cohesin, a complex required for chromosome cohesion during the cell cycle. The cohesin complex may form a large proteinaceous ring within which sister chromatids can be trapped. At anaphase, the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chromatids to segregate. Cohesion is coupled to DNA replication and is involved in DNA repair. The cohesin complex plays also an important role in spindle pole assembly during mitosis and in chromosomes movement; Belongs to the SMC family. SMC3 subfamily. (1217 aa) | ||||
Zfp809 | Zinc finger protein 809; Transcription factor specifically required to repress retrotransposons in embryonic stem cells. Recognizes and binds retroviral DNA sequences from a large subset of mammalian retroviruses and retroelements and repress their expression by recruiting a repressive complex containing TRIM28/KAP1. (402 aa) |
