Utx | Utx histone demethylase (Utx) encodes a Jumonji C containing protein that catalyzes the removal of methyl groups from Histone H3 lysine 27. Together with the products of trr and Lpt, it is thought to regulate chromatin structure at transcriptional enhancers. (1136 aa) | ||||
ndl | Serine protease nudel; Component of the extracellular signaling pathway that establishes the dorsal-ventral pathway of the embryo. Three proteases; ndl, gd and snk process easter to create active easter. Active easter defines cell identities along the dorsal-ventral continuum by activating the spz ligand for the Tl receptor in the ventral region of the embryo. Nudel, pipe and windbeutel together trigger the protease cascade within the extraembryonic perivitelline compartment which induces dorsoventral polarity of the Drosophila embryo. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. (2616 aa) |
