msl-1 | Protein male-specific lethal-1; The Msl proteins are essential for elevating transcription of the single X chromosome in the male (X chromosome dosage compensation). Msl-1 is a pioneer protein. Mle, msl-1 and msl-3 are colocalized on the X chromosome. Each of the MSL proteins requires all the other MSLs for wild-type X-chromosome binding. In complex with msl-2, promotes ubiquitination of histone H2B. (1039 aa) | ||||
Pen | Importin subunit alpha; Pendulin (Pen) encodes a member of the Importin-alpha protein family, an essential adaptor in the Ran-GTP nuclear transport cycle binding a cargo protein to the nuclear import receptor encoded by Fs(2)Ket. In addition to nuclear protein import, the product of Pen is involved in centrosome duplication, mitotic spindle dynamics, nuclear envelope assembly, ring canal formation in the female germline, geotaxic behaviour and perception of pain.
