SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for BDF1

BDF1 was identified in a screen for mutants that affect transcription of a reporter snRNA (1). BDF1 mutants show a reduced rate of vegetative growth, sensitivity to DNA damaging agents, and are unable to undergo the meiotic divisions required for sporulation (4). Bdf1p is found in the nucleus throughout the cell cycle, and is localized uniformly along the length of chromosomes (4). This localization suggests that Bdf1p may be a chromatin component (4). Bdf1p has some regions of similarity to proteins from Drosophila and human (1); Bdf1p also contains two "bromodomains," regions that may be involved in interactions with histones (1).
