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) | ||||
14-3-3epsilon | 14-3-3epsilon (14-3-3epsilon) encodes an acidic protein that preferentially heterodimerizes with other members of the family but also can homodimerize. It functions in multiple signaling pathways, most prominently in the Ras/MAPK cascade. It is involved in embryonic hatching, germ cell migration, gonad formation, wing venation and eye development; Belongs to the 14-3-3 family. (262 aa) |
