Kdm2a | Lysine-specific demethylase 2A; Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-36' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Preferentially demethylates dimethylated H3 'Lys-36' residue while it has weak or no activity for mono- and tri-methylated H3 'Lys-36'. May also recognize and bind to some phosphorylated proteins and promote their ubiquitination and degradation. Required to maintain the heterochromatic state. Associates with centromeres and represses transcription of small non-coding RNAs that are encoded by the clusters of satellite repeats at the c [...] (1161 aa) | ||||
Dusp7 | Dual specificity protein phosphatase 7; Dual specificity protein phosphatase. Shows high activity towards MAPK1/ERK2 (By similarity). Also has lower activity towards MAPK14 and MAPK8 (By similarity). In arrested oocytes, plays a role in meiotic resumption. Promotes nuclear envelope breakdown and activation of the CDK1/Cyclin-B complex in oocytes, probably by dephosphorylating and inactivating the conventional protein kinase C (cPKC) isozyme PRKCB. May also inactivate PRKCA and/or PRKCG. Also important in oocytes for normal chromosome alignment on the metaphase plate and progression to [...] (422 aa) |
