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) | ||||
yellow-f | L-dopachrome tautomerase yellow-f; Tautomerization of L-dopachrome with decarboxylation to give 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI). Also catalyzes the tautomerization of the methyl ester of L-dopachrome and dopamine chrome. May play a role in melanization reactions during late pupal and adult stages. May play a role in melanization reactions during larval and early pupal stages. Belongs to the major royal jelly protein family. (429 aa) |
