mof | Males-absent on the first protein; Histone acetyltransferase that plays a direct role in the specific histone acetylation associated with dosage compensation as part of the MSL complex. Dosage compensation insures that males with a single X chromosome have the same amount of most X-linked gene products as females with two X chromosomes. May be directly involved in the acetylation of histone 4 at 'Lys-16' on the X chromosome of males where it is recruited by the MSL complex. As part of the NSL complex may associate with promoters of X chromosomal as well as autosomal genes and positivel [...] (827 aa) | ||||
Trxr-1 | Thioredoxin reductase 1, mitochondrial; Thioredoxin system is a major player in glutathione metabolism, due to the demonstrated absence of a glutathione reductase. Functionally interacts with the Sod/Cat reactive oxidation species (ROS) defense system and thereby has a role in preadult development and life span. Lack of a glutathione reductase suggests antioxidant defense in Drosophila, and probably in related insects, differs fundamentally from that in other organisms; Belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family.
