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) | ||||
zpg | Innexin inx4; Structural component of the gap junctions in germline cells. Required for differentiation and survival of germline cysts in females and of spermatogonia in males; gap junctional communication between spermatogonia and somatic cyst cells may be required for normal differentiation and survival of spermatogonia. Belongs to the pannexin family. (367 aa) |
