Apoptosis-inducing factor 1; Mitochondrial cell death effector; translocates to the nucleus in response to apoptotic stimuli, homolog of mammalian Apoptosis-Inducing Factor, putative reductase; Belongs to the FAD-dependent oxidoreductase family.

Major mitochondrial nuclease; has RNAse and DNA endo- and exonucleolytic activities; roles in mitochondrial recombination, apoptosis and maintenance of polyploidy; involved in fragmentation of genomic DNA during PND (programmed nuclear destruction); encodes ortholog of mammalian endoG; Belongs to the DNA/RNA non-specific endonuclease family.

Bax inhibitor 1; Protein involved in apoptosis; variously described as containing a BCL-2 homology (BH3) domain or as a member of the BAX inhibitor family; reported to promote apoptosis under some conditions and to inhibit it in others; localizes to ER and vacuole; may link the unfolded protein response to apoptosis via regulation of calcium-mediated signaling; translocates to mitochondria under apoptosis-inducing conditions in a process involving Mir1p and Cor1p; Belongs to the BI1 family. LFG subfamily.

Cell division control protein 48; AAA ATPase; subunit of polyUb-selective segregase complex involved in ERAD, INM-associated degradation (INMAD), mitotic spindle disassembly, macroautophagy, PMN, ribosome-associated degradation, ribophagy, homotypic ER membrane fusion, SCF complex disassembly, cell wall integrity during heat stress, and telomerase regulation; mobilizes membrane-anchored transcription factors by regulated Ub/proteasome-dependent processing (RUP); human ortholog VCP complements a cdc48 mutant.

Cytochrome c isoform 2, expressed under hypoxic conditions; also known as iso-2-cytochrome c; electron carrier of the mitochondrial intermembrane space that transfers electrons from ubiquinone-cytochrome c oxidoreductase to cytochrome c oxidase during cellular respiration; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; CYC7 has a paralog, CYC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Cytochrome c, isoform 1; also known as iso-1-cytochrome c; electron carrier of mitochondrial intermembrane space that transfers electrons from ubiquinone-cytochrome c oxidoreductase to cytochrome c oxidase during cellular respiration; CYC1 has a paralog, CYC7, that arose from the whole genome duplication; human homolog CYC1 can complement yeast null mutant; mutations in human CYC1 cause insulin-responsive hyperglycemia.

Protein BIR1; Subunit of chromosomal passenger complex (CPC); CPC is comprised of Ipl1p-Sli15p-Bir1p-Nbl1p and regulates chromosome segregation; required for chromosome bi-orientation and for spindle assembly checkpoint activation upon reduced sister kinetochore tension; relative distribution to shortened microtubules increases upon DNA replication stress; sumoylated in an Mms21p-dependent manner; human survivin homolog.

Rotenone-insensitive NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, mitochondrial; NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase; transfers electrons from NADH to ubiquinone in respiratory chain but does not pump protons, in contrast to higher eukaryotic multisubunit respiratory complex I; upon apoptotic stress, is activated in mitochondria by N-terminal cleavage, then translocates to cytoplasm to induce apoptosis; homolog of human AIFM2; yeast NDI1 complements several phenotypes of human cell line with mutated MT-ND4, implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy.

Pheromone-processing carboxypeptidase KEX1; Cell death protease essential for hypochlorite-induced apoptosis; involved in the processing of killer toxin and alpha factor precursor; cleaves Lys and Arg residues from the C-terminus of peptides and proteins.
