Protein involved in bud-site selection; mutant has increased aneuploidy tolerance; diploid mutants display a unipolar budding pattern instead of the wild-type bipolar pattern, and bud at the distal pole; BUD9 has a paralog, BUD8, that arose from the whole genome duplication; To yeast BUD8.

Transcription factor targeting filamentation genes and Ty1 expression; Ste12p activation of most filamentation gene promoters depends on Tec1p and Tec1p transcriptional activity is dependent on its association with Ste12p; binds to TCS elements upstream of filamentation genes, which are regulated by Tec1p/Ste12p/Dig1p complex; competes with Dig2p for binding to Ste12p/Dig1p; positive regulator of chronological life span; TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain family member; Belongs to the TEC1 family.

Protein involved in bud-site selection; diploid mutants display a unipolar budding pattern instead of the wild-type bipolar pattern, and bud at the proximal pole; BUD8 has a paralog, BUD9, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Protein of unknown function; localizes to the bud neck and cytoplasm; interacts with Nap1p; may interact with ribosomes, based on co-purification experiments; potential Cdc28p substrate.

Integral plasma membrane protein; required for axial budding in haploid cells; localizes to the incipient bud site and bud neck; glycosylated by Pmt4p; potential Cdc28p substrate.

Ras-related protein RSR1; GTP-binding protein of the Ras superfamily; required for bud site selection, morphological changes in response to mating pheromone, and efficient cell fusion; localized to the plasma membrane; significantly similar to mammalian Rap GTPases.

Bud site selection protein 5; GTP/GDP exchange factor for Rsr1p (Bud1p); required for both axial and bipolar budding patterns; mutants exhibit random budding in all cell types.

Protein required for nuclear migration; component of the mitochondria-ER-cortex-ancor (MECA); required for the association of mitochondria with the cell cortex and for accurate distribution of mitochondrial network; interacts with Mdm36p to link the ER and mitochondria at the cortex; localizes to the mother cell cortex and the bud tip; may mediate interactions of dynein and cytoplasmic microtubules with the cell cortex.

Anillin-like protein involved in bud-site selection; required for the axial budding pattern; required for the formation and disassembly of the double septin ring structure, and generally for septin organization; functions as a platform linking the cytokinesis tag septins to the axial landmark through its multiple domains; in vivo substrate of Cdc28p/Clb2p.
