Asxl3 | Putative Polycomb group protein ASXL3; Putative Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (By similarity). (2204 aa) | ||||
Uhrf2 | E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase UHRF2; E3 SUMO-, but not ubiquitin-, protein ligase for ZNF131 (By similarity). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is an intermolecular hub protein in the cell cycle network. Ubiquitinates cyclins, CCND1 and CCNE1, in an apparently phosphorylation-independent manner and induces G1 arrest. Also ubiquitinates PCNP leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Through cooperative DNA and histone binding, may contribute to a tighter epigenetic control of gene expression in differentiated cells. (803 aa) |
