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.

Setd5 | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD5; Displays histone methyltransferase activity and monomethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 in vitro. The physiological significance of this activity is unclear (Probable). Probable transcriptional regulator that acts via the formation of large multiprotein complexes that modify and/or remodel the chromatin. Acts as a regulator of histone acetylation during gene transcription. (1441 aa) |
