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) | ||||
PUF6 | Pumilio-homology domain protein; binds the 3' UTR of ASH1 mRNA and represses its translation, resulting in proper asymmetric localization of ASH1 mRNA; required at post-transcriptional step for efficient retrotransposition; absence results in decreased Ty1 Gag:GFP protein levels; co-sediments with the 60S ribosomal subunit and is required for its biogenesis; Belongs to the PUF6 family.
