Maff | Transcription factor MafF; Since they lack a putative transactivation domain, the small Mafs behave as transcriptional repressors when they dimerize among themselves. However, they seem to serve as transcriptional activators by dimerizing with other (usually larger) basic-zipper proteins, such as NFE2L1/NRF1, and recruiting them to specific DNA-binding sites. Interacts with the upstream promoter region of the oxytocin receptor gene. May be a transcriptional enhancer in the up-regulation of the oxytocin receptor gene at parturition. (156 aa) | ||||
Nop2 | Probable 28S rRNA (cytosine-C(5))-methyltransferase; Involved in ribosomal large subunit assembly. S-adenosyl-L- methionine-dependent methyltransferase that specifically methylates the C(5) position of cytosine 4447 in 28S rRNA. May play a role in the regulation of the cell cycle and the increased nucleolar activity that is associated with the cell proliferation. (794 aa) |
