Psychiatry related information on eco

  • However, many aspects of the mechanisms that establish and maintain cohesion during mitosis remain unclear.RESULTS: We found that mutations in two evolutionarily conserved Drosophila genes, san (separation anxiety) and deco (Drosophila eco1), disrupt centromeric sister chromatid cohesion very early in division [1].
 

Biological context of eco

  • Two putative acetyltransferases, san and deco, are required for establishing sister chromatid cohesion in Drosophila [1].
 

Associations of eco with chemical compounds

  • Both san and deco are predicted to encode acetyltransferases, which transfer acetyl groups either to internal lysine residues or to the N terminus of other proteins [1].
