Zfp281 | Zinc finger protein 281; Transcription repressor that plays a role in regulation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation. Required for ESCs differentiation and acts by mediating autorepression of NANOG in ESCs: binds to the NANOG promoter and promotes association of NANOG protein to its own promoter and recruits the NuRD complex, which deacetylates histones. Not required for establishement and maintenance of ESCs. Represses the transcription of a number of genes including GAST, ODC1 and VIM. Binds to the G-rich box in the enhancer region of these genes.

Sox30 | Transcription factor SOX-30; Acts as both a transcriptional activator and repressor. Binds to the DNA sequence 5'-ACAAT- 3' and shows a preference for guanine residues surrounding this core motif. Binds to its own promoter and activates its own transcription. Required to activate the expression of postmeiotic genes involved in spermiogenesis. Binds to the promoter region of CTNNB1 and represses its transcription which leads to inhibition of Wnt signaling. Also inhibits Wnt signaling by binding to the CTNNB1 protein, preventing interaction of CTNNB1 with TCF7L2/TCF4 (By similarity). (782 aa) |
