E(z) | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase E(z); Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of the Esc/E(z) complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. While PcG proteins are generally required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development, this protein is specifically required during the first 6 hours of embryogenesis to establish the repressed state. The Esc/E(z) complex is necessary but not sufficient for the repression of homeotic target genes, suggesting [...] (765 aa) | ||||
Cerk | Ceramide kinase (Cerk) encodes a protein that catalyzes phosphorylation of ceramide, helping to maintain ceramide levels, which in turn regulates photoreceptor structure and function. It is also a component of WntD signaling and mediates primordial germ cell migration. (687 aa) |
