ph-d | Polyhomeotic distal (ph-d) encodes a stoichiometric subunit of the Polycomb repressive complex 1. The complex silences a variety of genes involved in developmental patterning, regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and polarity. Together with its paralog ph-p, ph-d functions as a tumor suppressor gene. (1537 aa) | ||||
twin | Twin, isoform C; Twin (twin) encodes the CCR4 deadenylase, one of two enzymes in the CCR4-NOT complex that degrade mRNA poly(A) tails. It is required during oogenesis in germline stem cell self-renewal, synchronous germ cell division and prevention of cell death, as well as in early embryonic patterning through the deadenylation of specific maternal mRNAs.
