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) | ||||
Faf1 | FAS-associated factor 1; Ubiquitin-binding protein (By similarity). Required for the progression of DNA replication forks by targeting DNA replication licensing factor CDT1 for degradation (By similarity). Potentiates but cannot initiate FAS-induced apoptosis. (649 aa) |
