SIR3 | Regulatory protein SIR3; Silencing protein; interacts with Sir2p, Sir4p, and histone H3/H4 tails to establish transcriptionally silent chromatin; required for spreading of silenced chromatin; recruited to chromatin through interaction with Rap1p; C-terminus assumes variant winged helix-turn-helix (wH) fold that mediates homodimerization, which is critical for holo-SIR complex loading; required for telomere hypercluster formation in quiescent yeast cells; has paralog ORC1 from whole genome duplication. (978 aa) | ||||
SHU2 | Suppressor of hydroxyurea sensitivity protein 2; Component of Shu complex (aka PCSS complex); Shu complex also includes Psy3, Csm2, Shu1, and promotes error-free DNA repair, Shu complex mediates inhibition of Srs2p function; promotes formation of Rad51p filaments; important for both mitotic and meiotic homologous recombination, and contains a conserved SWIM domain that is necessary for both.
