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) | ||||
LAS1 | Protein LAS1; Endonuclease involved in pre-rRNA processing at both ends of ITS2; functions with Grc3p in a conserved mechanism to modulate rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis; may coordinate the action of the Rat1p-Rai1p exoRNAse; required for the G1/S cell cycle transition; human ortholog is Las1L; mutants require the SSD1-v allele for viability.
