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) | ||||
Atg8a | Autophagy-related 8a (Atg8a) encodes a ubiquitin-like protein that is conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine, and this lipid modification anchors it into the membrane of forming and completed autophagosomes. Atg8a product has roles in autophagosome formation, maintaining neuromuscular function and normal lifespan. (121 aa) |
