Ubx | Homeotic protein ultrabithorax; Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Binds the consensus region 5'-TTAAT[GT][GA]-3'. This homeotic protein controls development of the cells in the posterior thoracic and first abdominal segments. It activates the synthesis of the decapentaplegic (DPP) growth factor; Belongs to the Antp homeobox family. (389 aa) | ||||
Xbp1 | X box binding protein-1 (Xbp1) encodes a transcription factor that mediates the unfolded protein response. Xbp1 mRNA undergoes splicing after being cleaved by the product of Ire1, inducing the expression of ER quality control transcripts. Xbp1 mutants fail to develop beyond the 2nd instar larval stage, indicative of a requirement to resolve inherent ER stress during normal development. (498 aa) |
