Mbd3 | Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3; Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Does not bind DNA by itself. Binds to DNA with a preference for sites containing methylated CpG dinucleotides (in vitro). Binds to a lesser degree DNA containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (By similarity). Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. (285 aa) | ||||
Zscan10 | Zinc finger and SCAN domain-containing protein 10; Embryonic stem (ES) cell-specific transcription factor required to maintain ES cell pluripotency. Can both activate and /or repress expression of target genes, depending on the context. Specifically binds the 5'-[GA]CGCNNGCG[CT]-3' DNA consensus sequence. Regulates expression of POU5F1/OCT4, ZSCAN4 and ALYREF/THOC4. (782 aa) |
