Cbx5 | Chromobox protein homolog 5; Component of heterochromatin that recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me), leading to epigenetic repression. In contrast, it is excluded from chromatin when 'Tyr-41' of histone H3 is phosphorylated (H3Y41ph). Can interact with lamin-B receptor (LBR). This interaction can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. Involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complex proteins (By similarity). (191 aa) | ||||
Bsph1 | Binder of sperm protein homolog 1; Binds sperm in vitro and promotes sperm capacitation. Specifically promotes capacitation induced by high density lipoproteins (HDLs). Also binds heparin, phospholipid liposomes, and weakly to gelatin. Does not bind chondroitin sulfate B. (133 aa) |
