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) | ||||
SMC1 | Structural maintenance of chromosomes 1 (SMC1) encodes an ATPase that heterodimerizes with the product of SMC3 to interact with the products of vtd and SA to form the cohesin ring complex. Cohesin encircles sister chromatids after DNA replication and has multiple roles in the regulation of gene expression and DNA repair. (1238 aa) |
