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) | ||||
CTH1 | mRNA decay factor CTH1; Member of the CCCH zinc finger family; similar to mammalian Tis11 protein, which activates transcription and also has a role in mRNA degradation; may function with Tis11p in iron homeostasis; CTH1 has a paralog, TIS11, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
