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) | ||||
Irp-1A | Iron regulatory protein 1A (Irp-1A) encodes a cytosolic aconitase that under iron deficiency (or if cytosolic superoxide is present) loses its iron-sulfur cluster, changes confirmation and binds iron regulatory elements (so far identified on the products of SdhB and Fer1HCH mRNAs); Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family.
