|---|---|
| Systematic Name | Ymr070wp |
| Alias | Rox7p |
| ORF Classification | Verified |
| Description | Transcriptional repressor and activator with two C2-H2 zinc fingers; involved in repression of a subset of hypoxic genes by Rox1p, repression of several DAN/TIR genes during aerobic growth, and repression of ergosterol biosynthetic genes in response to hyperosmotic stress; contributes to recruitment of the Tup1p-Cyc8p general repressor to promoters; involved in positive transcriptional regulation of CWP2 and other genes; can form the [MOT3+] prion (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Also known as: [MOT3+] 9 , [MOT3] |
