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.

trx | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase trithorax; Histone methyltransferase that trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me3). H3 'Lys-9' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Functions in segment determination through interaction with genes of bithorax (BX-C) and antennapedia (ANT-C) complexes. Acts as an activator of BX-C. Involved in the very early regulation of homeotic genes expressed only in the posterior region of the embryo. (3726 aa) |
