gro | Groucho (gro) encodes a global developmental co-repressor in conjunction with manifold DNA-binding repressor partner proteins, which tether it to target promoters. It functions downstream of key signaling pathways such as Wg/Wnt and Dpp/TGF-beta. Notably, phosphorylation of the product of gro in response to MAPK activation weakens its repressor capacity.

Mical | [F-actin]-monooxygenase Mical; Monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F-actin by mediating oxidation of specific methionine residues on actin. Acts by modifying actin subunits at 'Met-44' and 'Met-47' through the addition of oxygen to form methionine-sulfoxide, leading to promote actin filament disassembly and prevent repolymerization. Plays a key role in semaphorin-plexin repulsive axon guidance and cell morphological changes, probably via its ability to modify and regulate actin. Belongs to the Mical family. (4743 aa) |
