17-kDa component of the U4/U6aU5 tri-snRNP; plays an essential role in pre-mRNA splicing; human ortholog TXNL4A (the human U5-specific 15-kDa protein) complements yeast dib1 null mutant
Protein of unknown function; required for normal growth rate at 15 degrees C; green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion protein localizes to the cytoplasm in a punctate pattern; mtc4 is synthetically sick with cdc13-1
Small (67 amino acids) protein involved in sporulation; localizes to the prospore membrane; phosphorylated during meiosis; a longer, 5'-extended mRNA is also transcribed beginning in mid-meiosis, regulated by two MSEs (middle sporulation elements), and includes an uORF of 15 codons in its 5'-UTR; evidence transcription is regulated by Pdr1p
Alpha subunit of farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase-I; farnesyltransferase (Ram2p-Ram1p heterodimer) catalyzes the addition of 15-carbon isoprenoid farnesyl to substrate proteins containing a CAAX consensus motif; type I geranylgeranyltransferase (Ram2p-Cdc43p heterodimer) catalyzes the addition of the 20-carbon isoprenoid geranylgeranyl to substrate proteins containing a CaaL consensus motif; required for membrane localization of Ras proteins and a-factor
Transcriptional repressor; binds promoter sequences of cyclin genes, CYS3, and SMF2; not expressed during log phase of growth, but induced by stress or starvation during mitosis, and late in meiosis; represses 15% of all yeast genes as cells transition to quiescence; important for maintaining G1 arrest and for longevity of quiescent cells; member of Swi4p/Mbp1p family; phosphorylated by Cdc28p; relative distribution to nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress
