Stra8 | Stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 protein; Meiosis-inducer required for the transition into meiosis for both female and male germ cells. In female germ cells, required for premeiotic DNA replication and subsequent events in meiotic prophase. During spermatogenesis, next to its role in meiotic initiation, promotes (but is not required for) spermatogonial differentiation. Can associate with DNA (possibly in an indirect manner), and in vitro can activate DNA transcription. (393 aa) | ||||
Btbd1 | BTB/POZ domain-containing protein 1; Probable substrate-specific adapter of an E3 ubiquitin- protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins (By similarity). Seems to regulate expression levels and/or subnuclear distribution of TOP1, via an unknown mechanism. May play a role in mesenchymal differentiation where it promotes myogenic differentiation and suppresses adipogenesis. (488 aa) |
