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.

Sfmbt | Polycomb protein Sfmbt; Polycomb group (PcG) protein that binds to the Polycomb response elements (PREs) found in the regulatory regions of many genes. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via the methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Necessary but not sufficient to recruit a functional Pc [...] (1243 aa) |
