Rag2 | V(D)J recombination-activating protein 2; Core component of the RAG complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates the DNA cleavage phase during V(D)J recombination. V(D)J recombination assembles a diverse repertoire of immunoglobulin and T- cell receptor genes in developing B and T-lymphocytes through rearrangement of different V (variable), in some cases D (diversity), and J (joining) gene segments. DNA cleavage by the RAG complex occurs in 2 steps: a first nick is introduced in the top strand immediately upstream of the heptamer, generating a 3'-hydroxyl group that can attack the pho [...] (527 aa) | ||||
Crem | cAMP-responsive element modulator; Transcriptional regulator that binds the cAMP response element (CRE), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. Isoforms are either transcriptional activators or repressors. Isoform 2, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are repressors, while isoform 1 is an activator. Plays a role in spermatogenesis and is involved in spermatid maturation. Binding of isoform 1 (activator) to CRE is increased by CREB3L4. The CREM isoform 1-CREB3L4 heterodimer functions through CRE and may recruit HIRA to CRE to regulate histone exchange ; Belongs to the bZIP family. (357 aa) |
