NAD-dependent protein deacetylase HST1; NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase; essential subunit of the Sum1p/Rfm1p/Hst1p complex required for ORC-dependent silencing and meiotic repression; non-essential subunit of the Set3C deacetylase complex; involved in telomere maintenance; HST1 has a paralog, SIR2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Conserved NAD+ dependent histone deacetylase of the Sirtuin family; deacetylation targets are primarily nuclear proteins; required for telomere hypercluster formation in quiescent yeast cells; involved in regulation of lifespan; plays roles in silencing at HML, HMR, telomeres, and rDNA; negatively regulates initiation of DNA replication; functions as regulator of autophagy like mammalian homolog SIRT1, and also of mitophagy.

Meiosis-specific transcription factor; required for exit from pachytene and for full meiotic recombination; activates middle sporulation genes; competes with Sum1p for binding to promoters containing middle sporulation elements (MSE).

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, H3 lysine-4 specific; Histone methyltransferase, subunit of the COMPASS (Set1C) complex; COMPASS methylates histone H3K4; Set1p-dependent H3K4 trimethylation recruits Nrd1p, allowing efficient termination of snoRNAs and cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) by Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p pathway; modulates histone acetylation levels in promoter proximal regions to ensure efficient Nrd1p-dependent termination; required in transcriptional silencing near telomeres and at silent mating type loci; has a SET domain; Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransf [...]

Histone H2B; core histone protein required for chromatin assembly and chromosome function; nearly identical to HTB2; Rad6p-Bre1p-Lge1p mediated ubiquitination regulates reassembly after DNA replication, transcriptional activation, meiotic DSB formation and H3 methylation.

Transcriptional activator HAP2; Subunit of the Hap2p/3p/4p/5p CCAAT-binding complex; complex is heme-activated and glucose-repressed; complex is a transcriptional activator and global regulator of respiratory gene expression; contains sequences sufficient for both complex assembly and DNA binding; respiratory defect of the null mutant is functionally complemented by human NFYA.

Nicotinamide riboside kinase; catalyzes the phosphorylation of nicotinamide riboside and nicotinic acid riboside in salvage pathways for NAD+ biosynthesis.

Serine/threonine protein kinase involved in activation of meiosis; associates with Ime1p and mediates its stability, activates Ndt80p; IME2 expression is positively regulated by Ime1p; human CDK2 can complement ime2 null mutant.

Histone deacetylase, component of both the Rpd3S and Rpd3L complexes; regulates transcription, silencing, autophagy and other processes by influencing chromatin remodeling; forms at least two different complexes which have distinct functions and members; Rpd3(L) recruitment to the subtelomeric region is regulated by interaction with the arginine methyltransferase, Hmt1p.
