Pof | Protein painting of fourth; Probable RNA-binding protein that specifically binds to the fourth chromosome and may bind an RNA that spreads the fourth chromosome. May be a reminiscence of X chromosome dosage compensation of ancestral Drosophila species in which the X and the fourth chromosomes are one single chromosome. (495 aa) | ||||
shu | Inactive peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase shutdown; Co-chaperone required during oogenesis to repress transposable elements and prevent their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Acts as a co-chaperone via its interaction with Hsp83/HSP90 and is required for the biogenesis of all three piRNA major populations. (455 aa) |
