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) | ||||
Syt2 | Synaptotagmin-2; Exhibits calcium-dependent phospholipid and inositol polyphosphate binding properties. May have a regulatory role in the membrane interactions during trafficking of synaptic vesicles at the active zone of the synapse. Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Receptor for C.botulinum neurotoxin type G (BoNT/G, botG); gangliosides are not required for (or only very slightly improve) binding to a membrane-anchored receptor fragment. The toxin binds via the vesicular domain (residues 47-55) ; Belongs to the synaptotagmin family. (422 aa) |
