Zscan4c | Zinc finger and SCAN domain containing protein 4C; Embryonic stem (ES) cell-specific transcription factor required to regulate ES cell pluripotency. Binds telomeres and plays a key role in genomic stability in ES cells by regulating telomere elongation. Acts as an activator of spontaneous telomere sister chromatid exchange (T-SCE) and telomere elongation in undifferentiated ES cells. (506 aa) | ||||
Sde2 | Replication stress response regulator SDE2; Involved in both DNA replication and cell cycle control. Unprocessed SDE2 interacts with PCNA via its PIP-box. The interaction with PCNA prevents monoubiquitination of the latter thereby inhibiting translesion DNA synthesis. The binding of SDE2 to PCNA also leads to processing of SDE2 by an unidentified deubiquitinating enzyme, cleaving off the N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain. The resulting mature SDE2 is degraded by the DCX(DTL) complex in a cell cycle- and DNA damage dependent manner. Binding of SDE2 to PCNA is necessary to counteract dama [...] (448 aa) |
