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) | ||||
gus | Gustavus (gus) encodes a cullin-RING ubiquitin E3 ligase specificity receptor. It interacts genetically and physically with the product of Cul5, and putatively regulates stability of target proteins including the one encoded by vas. It is involved in oogenesis and germ cell maintenance. (279 aa) |
