Rere

Rere is a small community in the northeast of New Zealand's North Island. it is located in the upper valley of the Wharekopae River in remote country in the foothills of the Huiarau Range, inland from Gisborne. It is notable for the Rere Falls and Rere Rock Slide, both on the Wharekopae River.

Rere Falls, while not very tall at 5m, is a picturesque 20m wide waterfall. It is possible to walk behind its cascading curtain of water, although the rock face can be slippery.

Rere Rock Slide has been included in the NZ Automobile Association's 101 Must-do places for Kiwis. It is a smooth, natural rock formation 60m long, at an angle of about 30°, over which the Wharekopae River rushes like water in a giant water slide. With a little care, it can be slid down on boogie boards, tyres and the likes.

RERE

Arginine-glutamic acid dipeptide repeats protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RERE gene.

Function

This gene encodes a member of the atrophin family of arginine-glutamic acid (RE) dipeptide repeat-containing proteins. The encoded protein co-localizes with a transcription factor in the nucleus, and its overexpression triggers apoptosis. A similar protein in mouse associates with histone deacetylase and is thought to function as a transcriptional co-repressor during embryonic development. Recent reports also indicate that RERE and its Drosophila homolog associate with histone methyltransferases in regulating gene expression. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Interactions

RERE has been shown to interact with ATN1.
