Molecules Regulate Gene Expression | Type of Modification | Examples | Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|
DNA-binding proteins | Methylation | Polycomb group proteins (PcG) | Play a role in cellular differentiation by repressing transcription [41]. |
Heterochromatin protein (HP1) | Include many functions, like repressing genes by heterochromatin formation, regulates binding of complexes to centromere and maintains chromatin integrity [42]. | ||
DNA binding zinc finger protein (ZnF) | Regulates transcription processes, such as C2H2 ZnFs [43]. |
