Function
[MALE_ECO57] Involved in the high-affinity maltose membrane transport system MalEFGK. Initial receptor for the active transport of and chemotaxis toward maltooligosaccharides (By similarity). [SUH_DROME] Transcriptional regulator that plays a central role in Notch signaling, a signaling pathway involved in cell-cell communication that regulates a broad spectrum of cell-fate determinations. Binds directly the 5'-GTGRGAR-3' DNA consensus sequence, which is present in the regulatory region of several genes. Required for neurogenesis in imaginal disks. Acts as a transcriptional repressor when it is not associated with Notch proteins. When associated with some Notch protein, it acts as a transcriptional activator that activates transcription of Notch target genes. Specifically binds to the immunoglobulin kappa-type J segment recombination signal sequence. Required for transcription of Sim. Also functions independently of Notch pathway, in the development of the bristle sensory organ precursor cell.[1] [2] [3] [HLES_DROME] Is a potent antagonist of neurogenic gene activity during sensory organ development. The expression of distinct cell fates by the trichogen (shaft) / tormogen (socket) sister cell pair depends on the level of H activity. A certain threshold level of H activity is required, below which both sister cells adopt the tormogen fate.[4] [5]
