Glutamine and serine-rich protein 1

Definition:

Plays an essential role in the protection and maintenance of transcriptional and developmental programs. Protects many bivalent promoters and poised enhancers from hypermethylation, showing a marked preference for these regulatory elements over other types of promoters or enhancers. Mechanistically, cooperates with TET1 and binds to DNA in a common complex to inhibit the binding of DNMT3A/3B and therefore de novo methylation.
