MAF1/YDR005C Summary Help

Standard Name MAF1 1
Systematic Name YDR005C
Feature Type ORF, Verified
Description Highly conserved negative regulator of RNA polymerase III; binds to the N-terminal domain of the Rpc160p subunit of Pol III to prevent closed-complex formation; localization and activity are regulated by phosphorylation, mediated by TORC1, protein kinase A, and Sch9p; localizes to cytoplasm during vegetative growth and translocates to the nucleus and nucleolus under stress conditions (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
