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.

His2B:CG17949 | Histone H2B; Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. (123 aa) |
