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) | ||||
Mical | [F-actin]-monooxygenase Mical; Monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F-actin by mediating oxidation of specific methionine residues on actin. Acts by modifying actin subunits at 'Met-44' and 'Met-47' through the addition of oxygen to form methionine-sulfoxide, leading to promote actin filament disassembly and prevent repolymerization. Plays a key role in semaphorin-plexin repulsive axon guidance and cell morphological changes, probably via its ability to modify and regulate actin. Belongs to the Mical family. (4743 aa) |
