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.

NIT3 | Omega-amidase NIT3; Nit protein; one of two proteins in S. cerevisiae with similarity to the Nit domain of NitFhit from fly and worm and to the mouse and human Nit protein which interacts with the Fhit tumor suppressor; nitrilase superfamily member. (291 aa) |
