Elba3 | Early boundary activity protein 3; The heterotrimeric Elba complex is required for chromatin domain boundary function during early embryogenesis. It binds to a 8-bp sequence 5'-CCAATAAG-3' in the Fab-7 insulator or boundary element in the bithorax complex and contributes to its insulator or boundary activity. Elba3 lacks DNA-binding activity and plays the role of an adapter protein, bringing Elba1 and 2 together, thereby establishing a complex that recognizes the asymmetric sequence motif through the BEN domains of Elba1 and 2.

AGO3 | Protein argonaute-3; Acts via the piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and governs the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Directly binds piRNAs, a class of 24 to 30 nucleotide RNAs that are generated by a Dicer-independent mechanism and are primarily derived from transposons and other repeated sequence elements. Associates predominantly with sense piRNAs that contain adenine at nucleotide 10, but shows no preference for uridine at [...] (867 aa) |
