The homolog of chromatin binding protein Bx42 identified in Dictyostelium

Gene. 1996 Nov 28;181(1-2):229-31. doi: 10.1016/s0378-1119(96)00483-0.

Abstract

We identified in Dictyostelium a gene snwA containing a region of similarity to SH2 domains of higher eukaryotes. snwA is homologous to a novel human gene SNW1 and to Bx42 from Drosophila melanogaster, a gene coding for a chromatin binding protein responsive to 20-OH-ecdysone. snwA has one mRNA transcript of an approximate size of 2.5 kb.
