Trl | Transcription factor GAGA; Transcriptional activator that functions by regulating chromatin structure. Overcomes the repressive effects of chromatin by promoting the open chromatin conformation in promoter gene regions, thereby allowing access to other transcription factors. Binds to DNA Polycomb response elements (PREs) at the bithorax complex and to the proximal region of the engrailed promoter, and positively regulates transcription of many genes including homeotic ones. Binds to the DNA sequence (GA)n, with optimal binding to the pentamer 5'-GAGAG-3'. Binds DNA as an oligomer. May [...] (623 aa) | ||||
nab | NGFI-A-binding protein homolog; Transcriptional regulator that can both act as a coactivator or a corepressor depending on the context. Lacks DNA-binding domains and acts by associating with other transcription factors such as rotund (rn) and squeeze (sqz). Acts as a coactivator of sqz and is required to limit the number of neurons that express the LIM-homeodomain gene apterous and to specify Tv neuronal fate. Acts as corepressor of rn in wing development and is required to limit the expression of wingless (wg) in the wing hinge, where wg plays a mitogenic role. Belongs to the NAB family. (625 aa) |
