HAP1 | Zinc finger transcription factor; involved in the complex regulation of gene expression in response to levels of heme and oxygen; localizes to the mitochondrion as well as to the nucleus; the S288C sequence differs from other strain backgrounds due to a Ty1 insertion in the carboxy terminus. (1502 aa) | ||||
LAG1 | Ceramide synthase component; involved in synthesis of ceramide from C26(acyl)-coenzyme A and dihydrosphingosine or phytosphingosine, functionally equivalent to Lac1p; forms ER foci upon DNA replication stress; homolog of human CERS2, a tumor metastasis suppressor gene whose silencing enhances invasion/metastasis of prostate cancer cells; LAG1 has a paralog, LAC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
