Protein NRD1; RNA-binding subunit of Nrd1 complex; complex interacts with exosome to mediate 3'-end formation of some mRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, and CUTs; interacts with CTD of RNA pol II large subunit Rpo21p at phosphorylated Ser5 to direct transcription termination of non-polyadenylated transcripts; H3K4 trimethylation of transcribed regions by Set1p enhances recruitment of Nrd1p to those sites; role in regulation of mitochondrial abundance and cell size.

Nuclear cap-binding protein subunit 2; Small subunit of the heterodimeric cap binding complex with Sto1p; interacts with Npl3p, possibly to package mRNA for export from the nucleus; may have a role in telomere maintenance; contains an RNA-binding motif; Belongs to the RRM NCBP2 family.

RNA-binding protein, subunit of Nrd1 complex (Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p); complex interacts with exosome to mediate 3'-end formation of some mRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, and CUTs; required for termination of non-poly(A) transcripts and efficient splicing; Nrd1-Nab3 pathway appears to have a role in rapid suppression of some genes when cells are shifted to poor growth conditions, indicating role for Nrd1-Nab3 in regulating cellular response to nutrient availability.

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase PP1-2; Type 1 S/T protein phosphatase (PP1) catalytic subunit; involved in glycogen metabolism, sporulation and mitotic progression; interacts with multiple regulatory subunits; regulates actomyosin ring formation; subunit of CPF; recruited to mating projections by Afr1p interaction; regulates nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of Hxk2p; import into the nucleus is inhibited during spindle assembly checkpoint arrest; involved in dephosphorylating Rps6a/b and Bnr1p.

5'-3' exoribonuclease 2; Nuclear 5' to 3' single-stranded RNA exonuclease; involved in RNA metabolism, including rRNA and snoRNA processing, as well as poly (A+) dependent and independent mRNA transcription termination; required for cotranscriptional pre-rRNA cleavage; displaces Cdk1p from elongating transcripts, especially as RNAPII reaches the poly(A) site, negatively regulates phosphorylation of the CTD of RNAPII, and inhibits RNAPII transcriptional elongation; Belongs to the 5'-3' exonuclease family. XRN2/RAT1 subfamily.

S-phase checkpoint protein required for DNA replication; couples DNA helicase and polymerase; interacts with and stabilizes Pol2p at stalled replication forks during stress, where it forms a pausing complex with Tof1p and is phosphorylated by Mec1p; defines a novel S-phase checkpoint with Hog1p that coordinates DNA replication and transcription upon osmostress; protects uncapped telomeres; Dia2p-dependent degradation mediates checkpoint recovery; mammalian claspin homolog.

Ribonuclease H1; able to bind double-stranded RNAs and RNA-DNA hybrids; associates with RNAse polymerase I.

Spt4p/5p (DSIF) transcription elongation factor complex subunit; the Spt4/5 complex binds to ssRNA in a sequence-specific manner, and in concert with RNAP I and II has multiple roles regulating transcriptional elongation, RNA processing, quality control, and transcription-coupled repair; interacts with DNA upstream of RNAPII and the non-template strand of the transcription bubble; Spt5p is the only transcription elongation factor conserved in all domains of life.

Ribonuclease 3; Nuclear dsRNA-specific ribonuclease (RNase III); involved in rDNA transcription, rRNA processing and U2 snRNA 3' end formation by cleavage of a stem-loop structure at the 3' end of U2 snRNA; involved in polyadenylation-independent transcription termination; involved in the cell wall stress response, regulating the degradation of cell wall integrity and morphogenesis checkpoint genes.
