Tbp | TATA binding protein (Tbp) encodes a basal transcription factor required at most RNA Pol I and Pol II-transcribed genes. Traditionally thought to be recruited only to TATA box containing promoters, recent work shows that promoters with very weak TATA box consensus sequences also recruit the product of Tbp as a part of the multisubunit TFIID basal transcription factor or via the SAGA histone acetyltransferase complex.

spen | Protein split ends; Probable corepressor protein, which regulates different key pathways such as the EGF receptor and Wg pathways. Involved in neuronal cell fate, survival and axon guidance, cell cycle regulation and repression of head identity in the embryonic trunk. May act with the Hox gene Deformed and the EGF receptor signaling pathway. Positive regulator of the Wg pathway in larval tissues but not in embryonic tissues. May act as a transcriptional corepressor protein, which repress transcription via the recruitment of large complexes containing histone deacetylase proteins. (5560 aa) |
