Tet1 | Methylcytosine dioxygenase TET1; Dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and plays a key role in active DNA demethylation. Also mediates subsequent conversion of 5hmC into 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and conversion of 5fC to 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). Conversion of 5mC into 5hmC, 5fC and 5caC probably constitutes the first step in cytosine demethylation. Methylation at the C5 position of cytosine bases is an epigenetic modification of the mammalian genome which plays an important role in transcription [...] (2039 aa) | ||||
Ubp1 | Upstream-binding protein 1; Functions as a transcriptional activator in a promoter context-dependent manner. Involved in regulation of the alpha-globin gene in erythroid cells. Activation of the alpha-globin promoter in erythroid cells is via synergistic interaction with TFCP2. Functions as a trans-acting factor that regulates the domestic strain CYP2D9 gene through specific association with the regulatory element SDI-A1. Binding to SDI-A1 depends on the type of nucleotide at position 299; binding is abolished by a nucleotide substitution at this position. Modulates the placental expre [...] (540 aa) |
