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) | ||||
Fv1 | Friend virus susceptibility protein 1; Retroviral restriction factor that prevents infection by gammaretroviruses. Acts by interacting with the capsid protein ca after entry of the virus into the cell. This interaction presumably disrupt the capsid thereby inactivating the viral genome, making it unable to enter host nucleus and integrate into host genome. (459 aa) |
