vtd | Rad21 mitotic cohesin; Verthandi (vtd) encodes a subunit of the cohesin complex, which encircles sister chromatids after DNA replication and has multiple roles in the regulation of gene expression and DNA repair. (715 aa) | ||||
esc | Polycomb protein esc; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. While PcG proteins are generally required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development, this protein is specifically required during the first 6 hours of embryogenesis to establish the repressed state. Component of the Esc/E(z) complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' residues of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. The Esc/E(z) complex is necessary but not sufficient for the repression of homeotic target genes, suggesting that the recruitme [...] (425 aa) |
