Foxp3 | Forkhead box protein P3, C-terminally processed; Transcriptional regulator which is crucial for the development and inhibitory function of regulatory T-cells (Treg). Plays an essential role in maintaining homeostasis of the immune system by allowing the acquisition of full suppressive function and stability of the Treg lineage, and by directly modulating the expansion and function of conventional T-cells. Can act either as a transcriptional repressor or a transcriptional activator depending on its interactions with other transcription factors, histone acetylases and deacetylases.

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) |
