RGT1 | Glucose-responsive transcription factor; regulates expression of several glucose transporter (HXT) genes in response to glucose; binds to promoters and acts both as a transcriptional activator and repressor; recruits Tup1p/Cyc8p to target gene promoters; RGT1 has a paralog, EDS1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the EDS1/RGT1 family.

SIR2 | Conserved NAD+ dependent histone deacetylase of the Sirtuin family; deacetylation targets are primarily nuclear proteins; required for telomere hypercluster formation in quiescent yeast cells; involved in regulation of lifespan; plays roles in silencing at HML, HMR, telomeres, and rDNA; negatively regulates initiation of DNA replication; functions as regulator of autophagy like mammalian homolog SIRT1, and also of mitophagy.
