RPD3S histone deacetylase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Histone deacetylase which functions by deacetylating chromatin, thereby limiting accessibility of the transcriptional machinery to the underlying DNA.. Rpd3S recognizes the SET2 methylated histones and deacetylates histones within transcribed sequences. This erases transcription elongation-associated histone acetylation and serves to repress the occurrence of spurious transcription initiation from cryptic start sites within open reading frames. May also act to promote nucleosome assembly like a histone chaperone and prevent RSC-dependent histone eviction from nucleosomes
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

hydrolase activity, hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, protein-macromolecule adaptor activity, cellular component assembly, chromatin organization, protein-containing complex assembly, nucleus, organelle
