Your Input:
AsxPolycomb protein Asx; Atypical Polycomb group protein, which may be involved in both Polycomb group (PcG) and trithorax group (trxG) complexes. Non- catalytic component of the PR-DUB complex, a complex that specifically mediates deubiquitination of histone H2A monoubiquitinated at 'Lys-118' (H2AK118ub1). Does not deubiquitinate monoubiquitinated histone H2B. Required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. The PR-DUB complex has weak or no activity toward 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. PcG and trxG proteins act b [...] (1670 aa)
Abd-BHomeobox protein abdominal-B; Abdominal B (Abd-B) is one of the three hox genes of the bithorax complex. The product of Abd-B specifies the identity of the posterior abdominal segments, the external genitalia and the gonads. It is also involved in regulating the post-mating-response. (493 aa)
PscPolycomb group protein Psc; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. Component of the PcG multiprotein PRC1 complex, a complex that acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-118', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Needed to maintain e [...] (1601 aa)
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)

ScmPolycomb protein Scm; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via the methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility; Belongs to the SCM family. (877 aa)
CycAG2/mitotic-specific cyclin-A; Cyclin A (CycA) encodes a protein that binds to the product of Cdk1, thereby promoting Cdk1's protein kinase activity. The CycA-Cdk1 complex controls important aspects of progression through the cell cycle, including entry into mitosis. During the G2 phase, this complex is important for prevention of premature DNA re-replication. During mitosis and G1, the product of CycA is rapidly degraded (involving APC/C and the proteasome), resulting in inactivation of Cdk1 protein kinase activity. (491 aa)
Trp1Translocation protein 1, isoform B; Protein transmembrane transporter activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: posttranslational protein targeting to membrane, translocation. (428 aa)
GstD8Glutathione S transferase D8 (GstD8) encodes an enzyme with broad substrate specificity involved in glutathione metabolism. (212 aa)
abd-AHomeobox protein abdominal-A; Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Required for segmental identity of the second through eighth abdominal segments. Once a pattern of abd-A expression is turned on in a given parasegment, it remains on the more posterior parasegment, so that the complex pattern of expression is built up in the successive parasegments. Appears to repress expression of Ubx whenever they appear in the same cell, but abd-A is repressed [...] (590 aa)
RpL3260S ribosomal protein L32; Structural constituent of ribosome. It is involved in the biological process described with: translation; cytoplasmic translation. (147 aa)
His3:CG31613Histone H3; Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. (136 aa)
Cdk4Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) encodes a protein that contributes to cell cycle progression and cell growth. It is involved in the regulation of JAK-STAT and TORC1 signalling pathways. (317 aa)
Mal-A3Maltase A3; Maltose alpha-glucosidase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: carbohydrate metabolic process; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family. (574 aa)
Cdk1Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) encodes a catalytic protein kinase subunit that can only become active after association with either CycA, CycB or CycB3 products. The protein kinase activities of these complexes (CycA-Cdk1, CycB-Cdk1, CycB3-Cdk1) control important aspects of progression through the cell cycle. Functionally, the different Cdk1 complexes are partially redundant. They phosphorylate hundreds of target proteins and are most important for progression into and through mitotic and meiotic M phases. (297 aa)
ptcProtein patched; Segmentation polarity protein. Acts as a receptor for the hedgehog protein (HH). Associates with the smoothened protein (SMO) to transduce the hedgehog signal leading to the activation of wingless, decapentaplegic and patched itself. Participates in cell interactions that establish pattern within the segment and the imaginal disks during development. In the absence of HH, represses the constitutive signaling activity of smo through fused (FU). (1286 aa)

Does not act as a coactivator required for transcriptional activation, but specifically prevents inappropriate Polycomb Group (PcG) silencing of homeotic genes in cells in which they must stay transcriptionally active. Belongs to t [...] (2226 aa)
cortoCentrosomal and chromosomal factor; Corto (corto) encodes an Enhancer of Trithorax and Polycomb (ETP) protein that physically interacts with several Polycomb proteins (encoded by Pc, ph-d, ph-p, esc, E(z)) and ETP (encoded by Trl, Dsp1). It also interacts with the product of CycG, with the methylated product of RpL12 (RPL12K3me3), and co-regulates the transcription of genes involved in ribosome biogenesis. (550 aa)
Su(z)2Suppressor of zeste 2 (Su(z)2) encodes a protein that regulates gene expression by modifying epigenetic marks. The gene is related to Psc and was orginally identified due to its ability to suppress transvection at z. (1396 aa)
E(Pc)Enhancer of Polycomb (E(Pc)) encodes a chromatin protein that functions as a suppressor of position-effect variegation. An unusual member of the Polycomb group; it does not exhibit homeotic transformations on its own, but rather enhances mutations in other Polycomb group genes. It forms part of the TIP60 histone acetyltransferase complex, which has been involved in many processes, including both transcriptional activation and repression. (2097 aa)
