Nfe2 | Transcription factor NF-E2 45 kDa subunit; Component of the NF-E2 complex essential for regulating erythroid and megakaryocytic maturation and differentiation. Binds to the hypersensitive site 2 (HS2) of the beta-globin control region (LCR). This subunit (NFE2) recognizes the TCAT/C sequence of the AP-1- like core palindrome present in a number of erythroid and megakaryocytic gene promoters. Requires MAFK or other small MAF proteins for binding to the NF-E2 motif. May play a role in all aspects of hemoglobin production from globin and heme synthesis to procurement of iron; Belongs to t [...] (373 aa) | ||||
Prdm8 | PR domain zinc finger protein 8; Probable histone methyltransferase, preferentially acting on 'Lys-9' of histone H3. Histone methyltransferase activity has not been confirmed in other species. Involved in the control of steroidogenesis through transcriptional repression of steroidogenesis marker genes such as CYP17A1 and LHCGR. Forms with BHLHE22 a transcriptional repressor complex controlling genes involved in neural development and neuronal differentiation. In the retina, it is required for rod bipolar and type 2 OFF-cone bipolar cell survival. (688 aa) |
