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) | ||||
rump | Rumpelstiltskin, isoform A; Rumpelstiltskin (rump) encodes the Drosophila hnRNP M homolog. It binds to nos and osk mRNAs and plays a role in mRNA localization to the germ plasm by diffusion/entrapment during late stages of oogenesis. It also binds to exonic splicing enhancers on pre-mRNA targets, implicating it as a splicing factor. (632 aa) |
