rhi | RE36324p; Rhino (rhi) encodes an ovary-restricted heterochromatin protein 1 gene required for female fertility. It silences germline transposable elements by promoting transcription of the small RNAs encoded in Piwi-RNAclusters. (418 aa) | ||||
Nipped-B | Nipped-B protein; Plays a structural role in chromatin. Involved in sister chromatid cohesion, probably via an interaction with the cohesin complex. Participates in the transcriptional activation mediated by remote enhancers on genes such as cut and Ubx, possibly by alleviating the cohesin-mediated blocking of enhancer-promoter communication. Belongs to the SCC2/Nipped-B family. (2077 aa) |
