Id proteins
ID proteins contain a helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif and regulate tissue-specific transcription within several cell lineages. They do not bind DNA directly, but inhibit lineage commitment by binding basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors through their HLH motif. ID proteins contribute to cell growth, senescence, differentiation, angiogenesis, invasion and migration.

WNTs
13 July 2003Wnt family proteins
Definition: The WNTs are a family of secreted glycoproteins that have been shown to be involved in a variety of developmental processes in many organisms. The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes that encode cysteine-rich secreted glycoproteins that act as extracellular signaling factors.
The WNT gene family (WNTs) consists of structurally related genes encoding secreted signaling molecules that have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several (...) -
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases
13 July 2003Definition: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases attach aminoacids to their cognate tRNA.
Functions
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases attach aminoacids to their cognate tRNA.
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases perform an essential function in protein synthesis by catalyzing the esterification of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA. These enzymes are necessarily present in each cell and must properly recognize the tRNA and the amino acid in order to maintain fidelity of translation.
