Polyadenylate-binding protein, cytoplasmic and nuclear; Poly(A) binding protein; part of the 3'-end RNA-processing complex, mediates interactions between the 5' cap structure and the 3' mRNA poly(A) tail, involved in control of poly(A) tail length, interacts with translation factor eIF-4G; stimulates, but is not required for the deadenylation activity of the Pan2p-Pan3p poly(A)-ribonuclease complex; Belongs to the polyadenylate-binding protein type-1 family.

Eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit; Translation termination factor eRF3; has a role in mRNA deadenylation and decay; altered protein conformation creates the [PSI(+)] prion that modifies cellular fitness, alters translational fidelity by affecting reading frame selection, and results in a nonsense suppressor phenotype; many stress-response genes are repressed in the presence of [PSI(+)].

Mitochondrial translation elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu); involved in fundamental pathway of mtDNA homeostasis; comprises both GTPase and guanine nucleotide exchange factor activities, while these activities are found in separate proteins in S. pombe and humans; rare mutations in human mitochondrial elongation factor Tu (EFTu) associated with severe lactic acidosis, rapidly progressive fatal encephalopathy, severe infantile macrocystic leukodystrophy with micropolygyria.

Polypeptide release factor (eRF1) in translation termination; mutant form acts as a recessive omnipotent suppressor; methylated by Mtq2p-Trm112p in ternary complex eRF1-eRF3-GTP; mutation of methylation site confers resistance to zymocin; has a role in cytokinesis through interaction with Mlc1p.

Translation elongation factor 3; contains two ABC cassettes; binds and hydrolyzes ATP; YEF3 has a paralog, HEF3, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCF family. EF3 subfamily.

tRNA (guanine(26)-N(2))-dimethyltransferase, mitochondrial; tRNA methyltransferase; two forms of protein are made by alternative translation starts; localizes to both nucleus and mitochondrion to produce modified base N2,N2-dimethylguanosine in tRNAs in both compartments; nuclear Trm1p is evenly distributed around inner nuclear membrane in WT, but mislocalizes as puncta near ER-nucleus junctions in spindle pole body (SPB) mutants; both Trm1p inner nuclear membrane targeting and maintenance depend upon SPB.

Oxygen-dependent coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase; Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase; oxygen-requiring enzyme that catalyzes sixth step in heme biosynthetic pathway; transcription is repressed by oxygen and heme (via Rox1p and Hap1p); human homolog CPOX can complement yeast mutant and allow growth of haploid null after sporulation of a heterozygous diploid; Belongs to the aerobic coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase family.

Pre-mRNA-splicing factor ATP-dependent RNA helicase PRP43; RNA helicase in the DEAH-box family; functions in both RNA polymerase I and polymerase II transcript metabolism; catalyzes removal of U2, U5, and U6 snRNPs from the postsplicing lariat-intron ribonucleoprotein complex; required for efficient biogenesis of both small- and large-subunit rRNAs; acts with Sqs1p to promote 20S to 18S rRNA processing catalyzed by endonuclease Nob1p; Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily. DDX15/PRP43 sub-subfamily.

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase RPN11; Metalloprotease subunit of 19S regulatory particle; part of 26S proteasome lid; couples the deubiquitination and degradation of proteasome substrates; involved, independent of catalytic activity, in fission of mitochondria and peroxisomes; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.
