Nuclear mRNA export protein SAC3; mRNA export factor; required for biogenesis of the small ribosomal subunit; component of TREX-2 complex (Sac3p-Thp1p-Sus1p-Cdc31p) involved in transcription elongation and mRNA export from the nucleus; involved in post-transcriptional tethering of active genes to the nuclear periphery and to non-nascent mRNP; similar to the human germinal center-associated nuclear protein (GANP).

Protein SFI1; Centrin (Cdc31p)-binding protein required for SPB duplication; localizes to the half-bridge of the spindle pole body (SPB); required for progression through G(2)-M transition; phosphorylated by Cdc28p-Clb2p and by Cdc5p; dephosphorylated by Cdc14p; has similarity to Xenopus laevis XCAP-C; Belongs to the SFI1 family.

Cell division control protein KAR1; Protein involved in karyogamy and spindle pole body duplication; involved in karyogamy during mating; involved in spindle pole body duplication during mitosis; localizes to the half-bridge of the spindle pole body; interacts with Spc72p during karyogamy; also interacts with Cdc31p; essential gene.

26S proteasome complex subunit SEM1; 19S proteasome regulatory particle lid subcomplex component; role in Ub-dependent proteolysis and proteasome stability; involved in TREX-2 mediated mRNA export, and in the prevention of transcription-associated genome instability; ubiquitinated by Nedd4-like E3-ligase, Rsp5p; human ortholog DSS1, a BRCA1 binding protein implicated in cancer, complements the yeast null; drives trinucleotide repeat expansion; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.

Nuclear mRNA export protein THP1; Nuclear pore-associated protein; component of TREX-2 complex (Sac3p-Thp1p-Sus1p-Cdc31p) involved in transcription elongation and mRNA export from the nucleus; involved in post-transcriptional tethering of active genes to the nuclear periphery and to non-nascent mRNP; contains a PAM domain implicated in protein-protein binding.

FG-nucleoporin component of central core of the nuclear pore complex; contributes directly to nucleocytoplasmic transport and maintenance of thenuclear pore complex (NPC) permeability barrier; possible karyopherin release factor that accelerates release of karyopherin-cargo complexes after transport across NPC; both NUP1 and NUP60 are homologous to human NUP153.

Protein that recognizes and binds damaged DNA (with Rad23p) during NER; subunit of Nuclear Excision Repair Factor 2 (NEF2); also involved, with Rad23p, in turnover of ubiquitylated proteins; Rad4p-Rad23p heterodimer binds to promoters of DNA damage response genes to repress their transcription in the absence of DNA damage; NER stands for nucleotide excision repair; Belongs to the XPC family.

Spindle pole body assembly component MPS3; Nuclear envelope protein; required for SPB insertion, SPB duplication, Kar5p localization near the SPB and nuclear fusion; interacts with Mps2p to tether half-bridge to core SPB; N-terminal acetylation by Eco1p regulates its role in nuclear organization; localizes to the SPB half bridge and telomeres during meiosis; required with Ndj1p and Csm4p for meiotic bouquet formation and telomere-led rapid prophase movement; member of the SUN protein family (Sad1-UNC-84 homology).

Inner plaque spindle pole body (SPB) component; ortholog of human kendrin; gamma-tubulin small complex (gamma-TuSC) receptor that interacts with Spc98p to recruit the complex to the nuclear side of the SPB, connecting nuclear microtubules to the SPB; promotes gamma-TuSC assembly and oligomerization to initiate microtubule nucleation; interacts with Tub4p-complex and calmodulin; phosphorylated by Mps1p in cell cycle-dependent manner.
