Crx | Cone-rod homeobox protein; Transcription factor that binds and transactivates the sequence 5'-TAATC[CA]-3' which is found upstream of several photoreceptor-specific genes, including the opsin genes. Acts synergistically with other transcription factors, such as NRL, RORB and RAX, to regulate photoreceptor cell-specific gene transcription. Essential for the maintenance of mammalian photoreceptors. (323 aa) | ||||
Alkbh5 | RNA demethylase ALKBH5; Dioxygenase that demethylates RNA by oxidative demethylation: specifically demethylates N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA, the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes. Can also demethylate N(6)-methyladenosine in single-stranded DNA (in vitro) (By similarity). Requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron (By similarity). Demethylation of m6A mRNA affects mRNA processing and export (By similarity). Required for the late meiotic and haploid phases of spermatogenesis by mediating m6A demethylation in spermatocytes a [...] (395 aa) |
