Set2

Drosophila melanogaster

SET domain containing 2 (Set2) encodes an essential histone methyltransferase that marks active gene bodies with H3K36me3.

ADD1

Drosophila melanogaster

ADD domain-containing protein 1 (ADD1) encodes a strong Heterochromatin Protein 1 interactor that interacts with methylated H3K9 silencing marks in heterochromatin.

Psc

Drosophila melanogaster

Posterior sex combs (Psc) was originally identified as a member of the Polycomb group of genes that regulate gene expression through epigenetic marks.

Su(z)2

Drosophila melanogaster

Suppressor 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.

cal1

Drosophila melanogaster

chromosome alignment defect 1 (cal1) encodes a protein that is required for maintenance of the epigenetic marks specifying centromeres. It binds to newly synthesized centromere-specific histone H3 variant encoded by cid and recruits it to the centromere by binding to the centromere protein encoded by Cenp-C.

sns

Drosophila melanogaster

sticks and stones (sns) encodes a single-pass transmembrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, which mediates cell-cell recognition and adhesion. The product of sns marks the fusion competent population of myoblasts. It also contributes to formation and function of the nephrocyte diaphragm and cell sorting within the developing ommatidia.

Nfkbib

Homo sapiens

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family, which inhibit NF-kappa-B by complexing with, and trapping it in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation of serine residues on these proteins by kinases marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway, thereby allowing activation of the NF-kappa-B, which translocates to the nucleus to function as a transcription factor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

Ehmt1

Homo sapiens

The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the lysine-9 position of histone H3. This action marks the genomic region packaged with these methylated histones for transcriptional repression. This protein may be involved in the silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes and therefore could play a role in the G0/G1 cell cycle transition. Defects in this gene are a cause of chromosome 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome (9q-syndrome, also known as Kleefstra syndrome). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Tbk1

Homo sapiens

The NF-kappa-B (NFKB) complex of proteins is inhibited by I-kappa-B (IKB) proteins, which inactivate NFKB by trapping it in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation of serine residues on the IKB proteins by IKB kinases marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway, thereby allowing activation and nuclear translocation of the NFKB complex. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to IKB kinases and can mediate NFKB activation in response to certain growth factors. The protein is also an important kinase for antiviral innate immunity response. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2021]

Ctcfl

Homo sapiens

CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), an 11-zinc-finger factor involved in gene regulation, utilizes different zinc fingers to bind varying DNA target sites. CTCF forms methylation-sensitive insulators that regulate X-chromosome inactivation. This gene is a paralog of CTCF and appears to be expressed primarily in the cytoplasm of spermatocytes, unlike CTCF which is expressed primarily in the nucleus of somatic cells. CTCF and the protein encoded by this gene are normally expressed in a mutually exclusive pattern that correlates with resetting of methylation marks during male germ cell differentiation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]
