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) | ||||
Pkn | Serine/threonine-protein kinase N; Pkc-related serine/threonine-protein kinase and Rho/Rac effector protein that participates in specific signal transduction responses in the cell. May play a role in the regulation of cell cycle progression, actin cytoskeleton assembly, cell migration, cell adhesion and transcription activation signaling processes (By similarity). Plays a role in regulating Rho-mediated dorsal closure during embryogenesis. (1501 aa) |
