cuff | Cutoff (cuff) encodes a protein that interacts with the products of rhi and del in a germline complex that allows noncanonical transcription of dual-strand piRNA clusters. The product of cuff is therefore an integral part of the piRNA response to transposon activity in the germline. In its absence, a DNA damage checkpoint is activated leading to ventralization of the egg and embryo. (384 aa) | ||||
Deaf1 | Deformed epidermal autoregulatory factor 1; Transcription factor that binds the homeotic Deformed (Dfd) response element. High affinity binding sites contain at least 1 TTCG motif surrounded by additional TCG sequences. May be involved in the selective action of Dfd on these sites without binding directly to the Dfd protein. Requirement of DEAF1 activity may be a common feature of enhancers targeted by Dfd.
