Su(z)12 | Polycomb protein Su(z)12; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. While PcG proteins are generally required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development, this protein is specifically required during the first 6 hours of embryogenesis to establish the repressed state. Component of the Esc/E(z) complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) and 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. The Esc/E(z) complex is necessary but not sufficient for the repression of homeotic target genes, suggesting that [...] (900 aa) | ||||
BicC | Protein bicaudal C; RNA-binding protein that is involved in oogenesis. Required for correct targeting of the migrating anterior follicle cells and the establishment of anterior-posterior polarity in the oocyte. May act as translational repressor of oskar during oogenesis. Function seems to be sensitive to small changes in expression. (905 aa) |
