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) | ||||
Fak | Focal adhesion kinase (Fak) encodes a non-Receptor Tyrosine kinase (nRTK) that is involved in signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics integrating signals from RTKs and integrins. Its function has been described in multiple contexts including embryonic muscle attachement, morphogensis of the optic stalk, synaptic growth and transmission, and in the regulation of RTK-MAP kinase signaling in epithelia.
