Aire | Autoimmune regulator; Transcription factor playing an essential role to promote self-tolerance in the thymus by regulating the expression of a wide array of self-antigens that have the commonality of being tissue- restricted in their expression pattern in the periphery, called tissue restricted antigens (TRA) (Probable). Binds to G-doublets in an A/T- rich environment; the preferred motif is a tandem repeat of 5'-. ATTGGTTA-3' combined with a 5'-TTATTA-3' box. Binds to nucleosomes (By similarity). Binds to chromatin and interacts selectively with histone H3 that is not methylated at 'L [...] (552 aa) | ||||
Skint1 | Selection and upkeep of intraepithelial T-cells protein 1; May act by engaging a cell surface molecule on immature T- cells in the embryonic thymus. Plays a central role in mediating key epithelial-immune interactions by being involved in the selection of Vgamma5(+)Vdelta1(+) T-cells, which constitute 90% of epidermal gammadelta T-cells.
