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) | ||||
Vps20 | Vacuolar protein sorting 20 (Vps20) encodes a member of the ESCRT-III complex, which sorts certain endocytosed receptors for degradation via the multivesicular body. As part of this complex, the product of Vps20 is also involved in abscission following cytokinesis. (212 aa) |
