dwg | Deformed wings (dwg) encodes an architectural chromatin protein essential for embryonic development that organizes open chromatin in regulatory regions (predominantly promoters). dwg product binding site was found in the insulator encoded by scs, and its functions include enhancer blocking, support of distant interactions and recruitment of transcription factors.

cpa | Capping protein alpha (cpa) encodes an actin-binding protein that, along with the product of cpb, binds to the fast growing ends of actin filaments to restrict the addition or loss of actin monomers. It limits the nuclear translocation of the Hippo pathway mediator encoded by yki and restricts JNK signaling. It maintains epithelial integrity and controls the balance between proliferation and apoptosis in the wing imaginal disc. It plays important roles during oogenesis, as well as maintaining neuronal homeostasis. (286 aa) |
