Zfp322a | Zinc finger protein 322; Transcriptional activator. Important for maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. Binds directly to the POU5F1 distal enhancer and the NANOG proximal promoter, and enhances expression of both genes. Can also bind to numerous other gene promoters and regulates expression of many other pluripotency factors, either directly or indirectly. Promotes inhibition of MAPK signaling during embryonic stem cell differentiation. (410 aa) | ||||
Nfya | Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha; Component of the sequence-specific heterotrimeric transcription factor (NF-Y) which specifically recognizes a 5'-CCAAT-3' box motif found in the promoters of its target genes. NF-Y can function as both an activator and a repressor, depending on its interacting cofactors. NF-YA positively regulates the transcription of the core clock component ARNTL/BMAL1. (347 aa) |
