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) | ||||
Pura | Transcriptional activator protein Pur-alpha; This is a probable transcription activator that specifically binds the purine-rich single strand of the PUR element located upstream of the c-Myc gene. May play a role in the initiation of DNA replication and in recombination. (321 aa) |
