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) | ||||
sea | Scheggia, isoform A; Scheggia (sea) encodes a carrier protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane that plays a central role in fatty acid and sterol biosynthesis. It catalyses an electroneutral exchange of citrate for another tricarboxylate, a dicarboxylate (L-malate), or phosphoenolpyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The product of sea is also required to prevent chromosome breaks. (317 aa) |
