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) | ||||
sky | GTPase-activating protein skywalker; GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for Rab35 which regulates synaptic vesicle (SV) protein recycling and turnover at the neuromuscular junction boutons and possibly ventral nerve cord via endosomal trafficking. Inhibits Rab35-mediated endosomal sorting which traffics old or dysfunctional SV proteins through a degradative endolysosomal route that involves the ESCRT pathway and the HOPS complex members dor, vps39 and rab7. This function is essential for preventing excessive degradation and turnover of vesicles from the readily releasable pool which leads [...] (607 aa) |
