Kdm4c | Lysine-specific demethylase 4C; Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-36' residues of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-4', H3 'Lys-27' nor H4 'Lys-20'. Demethylates trimethylated H3 'Lys-9' and H3 'Lys-36' residue, while it has no activity on mono- and dimethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate (By similarity). (1054 aa) | ||||
Spz1 | Spermatogenic leucine zipper protein 1; Transcription factor that binds to the DNA sequence 5'- CANNTG-3'(E box) and the G-box motif. Directly binds to a guanine-rich region of the PCNA promoter and up-regulates its expression which in turn induces cell transformation and tumor formation. May play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation during spermatogenesis. (378 aa) |
