RNF2 | E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RING2; E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates monoubiquitination of 'Lys-119' of histone H2A (H2AK119Ub), thereby playing a central role in histone code and gene regulation. H2AK119Ub gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression and participates in X chromosome inactivation of female mammals. May be involved in the initiation of both imprinted and random X inactivation (By similarity). Essential component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state [...] (336 aa) | ||||
ANKRD17 | Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 17; Could play pivotal roles in cell cycle and DNA regulation. Involved in innate immune defense against viruse by positively regulating the viral dsRNA receptors DDX58 and IFIH1 signaling pathways. Involves in NOD2- and NOD1- mediated responses to bacteria suggesting a role in innate antibacterial immune pathways too. Target of enterovirus 71 which is the major etiological agent of HFMD (hand, foot and mouth disease). Could play a central role for the formation and/or maintenance of the blood vessels of the circulation system (By similarity). (2603 aa) |
