ASCL1 | Achaete-scute homolog 1; Transcription factor that plays a key role in neuronal differentiation: acts as a pioneer transcription factor, accessing closed chromatin to allow other factors to bind and activate neural pathways. Directly binds the E box motif (5'-CANNTG-3') on promoters and promotes transcription of neuronal genes. The combination of three transcription factors, ASCL1, POU3F2/BRN2 and MYT1L, is sufficient to reprogram fibroblasts and other somatic cells into induced neuronal (iN) cells in vitro. Plays a role at early stages of development of specific neural lineages in mos [...] (236 aa) | ||||
CIPC | CLOCK-interacting pacemaker; Transcriptional repressor which may act as a negative- feedback regulator of CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 transcriptional activity in the circadian-clock mechanism. May stimulate ARNTL/BMAL1-dependent phosphorylation of CLOCK. However, the physiogical relevance of these observations is unsure, since experiments in an animal model showed that CIPC is not critially required for basic circadian clock. (399 aa) |
