abd-A | Homeobox protein abdominal-A; Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Required for segmental identity of the second through eighth abdominal segments. Once a pattern of abd-A expression is turned on in a given parasegment, it remains on the more posterior parasegment, so that the complex pattern of expression is built up in the successive parasegments. Appears to repress expression of Ubx whenever they appear in the same cell, but abd-A is repressed [...] (590 aa) | ||||
scny | Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 36; Hydrolase that deubiquitinates polyubiquitinated target proteins including imd. Required for preventing the constitutive activation of the imd/NF-kappa-B (Imd) signaling cascade under unchalleneged conditions. Deubiquitinates imd linked 'Lys-63' chains which leads its proteasomal degradation and consequently down-regulation of the Imd signaling cascade. Removal of the activating 'Lys-63'-linked chains is likely to enable their replacement with 'Lys- 48'-linked chains which act as 'tags' the for proteosomal degradation of imd. Required for maint [...] (1038 aa) |
