Ctcfl | Transcriptional repressor CTCFL; Testis-specific DNA binding protein responsible for insulator function, nuclear architecture and transcriptional control, which probably acts by recruiting epigenetic chromatin modifiers. Plays a key role in gene imprinting in male germline, by participating in the establishment of differential methylation at the IGF2/H19 imprinted control region (ICR). Directly binds the unmethylated H19 ICR and recruits the PRMT7 methyltransferase, leading to methylate histone H4 'Arg-3' to form H4R3sme2. This probably leads to recruit de novo DNA methyltransferases a [...] (636 aa) | ||||
Gimap5 | GTPase IMAP family member 5; Plays a role in T lymphocyte development and the optimal generation of CD4/CD8 double-positive thymocytes. Inhibitor of GSK3A. May act by sequestering GSK3A in cytoplasmic vesicles and impairing its translocation to the nucleus. Consequently, impairs GSK3A-dependent transcriptional program and regulation of the DNA damage response occurring during T cells proliferation. Required for the survival of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, as well as of peripheral T cells, natural killer (NK) and NK T-cell development and the maintenance of normal liver functio [...] (308 aa) |
