Prdm5 | PR domain zinc finger protein 5; Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor. Represses transcription at least in part by recruitment of the histone methyltransferase EHMT2/G9A and histone deacetylases such as HDAC1. Regulates hematopoiesis-associated protein-coding and microRNA (miRNA) genes (By similarity). May regulate the expression of proteins involved in extracellular matrix development and maintenance, connective tissue components and molecules regulating cell migration and adhesion. May cause G2/M arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells (By similarity). (599 aa) | ||||
Tnp2 | Nuclear transition protein 2; Plays a key role in the replacement of histones to protamine in the elongating spermatids of mammals. In condensing spermatids, loaded onto the nucleosomes, where it promotes the recruitment and processing of protamines, which are responsible for histone eviction. The histone H2AB1-H2BC1/TH2B dimer is required for loading of TNP2 onto chromatin. Belongs to the nuclear transition protein 2 family. (117 aa) |
