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) | ||||
Smyd1 | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase Smyd1; Methylates histone H3 at 'Lys-4' (H3K4me). Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Essential for cardiomyocyte differentiation and cardiac morphogenesis. (490 aa) |
