Su(var)3-3 | Possible lysine-specific histone demethylase 1; Probable histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, thereby acting as a corepressor. Required for heterochromatic gene silencing. Acts by oxidizing the substrate by FAD to generate the corresponding imine that is subsequently hydrolyzed. Demethylates both mono- and tri-methylated 'Lys-4' of histone H3. May also demethylate 'Lys-9' of histone H3, Plays a role in the repression of neuronal genes; Belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family. (890 aa) | ||||
retn | Protein dead ringer; Transcription factor which is a downstream target of gcm and repo. Directly or indirectly activates the transcription of locos and pros, which are essential for the development of some glial cells. Plays an essential role in defining the cell shape and migration characteristics of longitudinal glia that enable them to establish a normal axon scaffold. (911 aa) |
