Su(var)3-9 | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase Su(var)3-9; Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 using monomethylated H3 'Lys-9' as substrate. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting Su(var)205/HP1 to methylated histones. Mainly functions in heterochromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the establishment of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentric regions. Involved in heterochromatic gene silencing including the modification of position-effect-variegation. Belongs to the cl [...] (635 aa) | ||||
Lrch | Leucine-rich-repeats and calponin homology domain protein (Lrch) encodes a scaffold protein well conserved across animals that associates with actin-rich structures during cell division. Lack of Lrch results in a reduction of fertility and fitness. (1135 aa) |
