RNA binding protein, component of the U1 snRNP protein; mutants are defective in meiotic recombination and in formation of viable spores, involved in the formation of DSBs through meiosis-specific splicing of REC107 pre-mRNA; Nam8p regulon embraces the meiotic pre-mRNAs of REC107, HFM1, AMA1 SPO22 and PCH2; the putative RNA binding domains RRM2 and RRM3 are required for Nam8p meiotic function.

Protein SCP160; Essential RNA-binding G protein effector of mating response pathway; ligand-activated RNA-binding protein that delivers RNAs involved in polarization and perpetualizing mating signal to shmoo tip during pheromone signaling; Scp160p-mediated RNA trafficking essential for chemotropism and successful mating; mainly associated with nuclear envelope and ER, interacts in mRNA-dependent manner with translating ribosomes via multiple KH domains, similar to vertebrate vigilins.

Nuclear segregation protein BFR1; Component of mRNP complexes associated with polyribosomes; involved in localization of mRNAs to P bodies; implicated in secretion and nuclear segregation; multicopy suppressor of BFA (Brefeldin A) sensitivity.

Cytoplasmic DEAD-box helicase, stimulates mRNA decapping; coordinates distinct steps in mRNA function and decay, interacting with both decapping and deadenylase complexes; role in translational repression, mRNA decay, and possibly mRNA export; interacts and cooperates with Ngr1p to promote specific mRNA decay; ATP- and RNA-bound form promotes processing body (PB) assembly, while ATPase stimulation by Not1p promotes PB disassembly; forms cytoplasmic foci on replication stress; Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX6/DHH1 subfamily.

Protein of unknown function, secreted when constitutively expressed; SWAT-GFP, seamless-GFP and mCherry fusion proteins localize to the cell periphery, SWAT-GFP fusion also localizes to the extracellular region, and mCherry fusion also localizes to the vacuole; S/T rich and highly similar to YOL155C, a putative glucan alpha-1,4-glucosidase; transcript is induced in both high and low pH environments; non-essential gene; Belongs to the SRP1/TIP1 family.

Nuclear fusion protein BIK1; Microtubule-associated protein; component of the interface between microtubules and kinetochore, involved in sister chromatid separation; essential in polyploid cells but not in haploid or diploid cells; ortholog of mammalian CLIP-170.

Uncharacterized protein YOL118C; Dubious open reading frame; unlikely to encode a functional protein, based on available experimental and comparative sequence data.

Putative protein of unknown function; YLR156W, YLR159W, and YLR161W are three identical open reading frames in S288C encoded near the ribosomal DNA region of chromosome 12; YLR161W has a paralog, YLR157W-D, that arose from a segmental duplication.

Putative uncharacterized protein YEL075W-A; Dubious open reading frame; unlikely to encode a functional protein, based on available experimental and comparative sequence data.
