NANOG | Homeobox protein NANOG; Transcription regulator involved in inner cell mass and embryonic stem (ES) cells proliferation and self-renewal. Imposes pluripotency on ES cells and prevents their differentiation towards extraembryonic endoderm and trophectoderm lineages. Blocks bone morphogenetic protein-induced mesoderm differentiation of ES cells by physically interacting with SMAD1 and interfering with the recruitment of coactivators to the active SMAD transcriptional complexes. Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Binds optimally to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-TAAT[GT][GT] [...] (305 aa) | ||||
FAM111A | Protein FAM111A; Chromatin-associated protein required for PCNA loading on replication sites. Promotes S-phase entry and DNA synthesis. May directly function at replication forks, explaining why Simian virus 40 (SV40) interacts with FAM111A to overcome host range restriction. (611 aa) |
