Sin3a | Paired amphipathic helix protein Sin3a; Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Corepressor for REST. Interacts with MXI1 to repress MYC responsive genes and antagonize MYC oncogenic activities. Also interacts with MXD1-MAX heterodimers to repress transcription by tethering SIN3A to DNA. Acts cooperatively with OGT to repress transcription in parallel with histone deacetylation. Involved in the control of the circadian rhythms. Required for the transcriptional repression of circadian target genes, such as PER1, mediated by the large PER complex through histone deacetylation. Cooperates wi [...] (1277 aa) | ||||
Awat2 | Acyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 2; Acyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of ester bonds between fatty alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs to form wax monoesters. Shows a preference for medium chain acyl-CoAs from C12 to C16 in length and fatty alcohols shorter than C20, as the acyl donor and acceptor, respectively. Also possesses acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) activity that catalyzes 11-cis- specific retinyl ester synthesis. Shows higher catalytic efficiency toward 11-cis-retinol versus 9-cis-retinol, 13- cis-retinol and all-trans-retinol substrates (By similarity). (333 aa) |
