msl-3 | Protein male-specific lethal-3; Male-specific lethal 3 (msl-3) encodes a chromodomain protein, reported to interact with H3K36me3, H4K20me1 and DNA. It is a member of the Male-Specific-Lethal dosage compensation complex, which increases male X chromosome transcription approximately two-fold. Homozygous mutant males die as larvae, while females are viable. (512 aa) | ||||
SmD3 | Small ribonucleoprotein particle protein SmD3 (SmD3) encodes an RNA binding protein that forms a heterodimeric sub-complex with the product of SmB. They function as part of the heteroheptameric ring complex Sm core, which is involved in the formation of spliceosomal small nuclear RNPs (U1, U2, U4 and U5), which together catalyze pre-mRNA splicing. The product of SmD3 also has a function in germline specification, as it is required for localization of the product of osk to the posterior pole of the oocyte. (151 aa) |
