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) | ||||
MOD5 | Delta 2-isopentenyl pyrophosphate:tRNA isopentenyl transferase; required for biosynthesis of isopentenyladenosine in mitochondrial and cytoplasmic tRNAs; also has a role in tRNA gene-mediated silencing; gene encodes two isozymic forms; converts to a prion form, prion conversion contributes to azole antifungal resistance by upregulating ergosterol biosynthesis; homolog of human TRIT1, a mutation in which is associated with severe combined respiratory chain defects.
