Kdm4A | Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 4A (Kdm4A) encodes a histone lysine demethylase that catalyzes removal of methyl groups using alpha-ketoglutarate as a cofactor. It demethylates H3K36me3 and is implicated in the demethylation of H3K9me3 and H3K56me3. Its roles include transcription, DNA repair, and heterochromatin silencing. (495 aa) | ||||
Sfmbt | Polycomb protein Sfmbt; Polycomb group (PcG) protein that binds to the Polycomb response elements (PREs) found in the regulatory regions of many genes. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via the methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Necessary but not sufficient to recruit a functional Pc [...] (1243 aa) |
