bcd | Homeotic protein bicoid; Segment polarity protein that provides positional cues for the development of head and thoracic segments. Regulates the expression of zygotic genes, possibly through its homeodomain, and inhibits the activity of other maternal gene products. May also bind RNA. Interacts with Bin1 to repress transcription of bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo; a process known as retraction. (494 aa) | ||||
Caf1-180 | Chromatin assembly factor 1, p180 subunit (Caf1-180) encodes a component of the chromatin assembly factor-1, which couples DNA replication to histone deposition. The product of Caf1-180 is involved in nucleosome organization, DNA endoduplication and double-strand DNA break repair. (1183 aa) |
