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) | ||||
WSS1 | DNA-dependent metalloprotease WSS1; SUMO-ligase and SUMO-targeted metalloprotease; involved in DNA repair; removes DNA-protein crosslinks at stalled replication forks during replication of damaged DNA; clears chromatin-bound sumoylated proteins; localizes to single spot on nuclear periphery of mother cells but not daughters; exhibits vacuolar localization upon genotoxic stress; activated by DNA binding; member of minigluzincins protease family with mammalian DVC1/Spartan; Belongs to the peptidase M3 family. WSS1-like metalloprotease (WLM) subfamily. (269 aa) |
