SIR3

CMT1, MAR2, STE8, chromatin-silencing protein SIR3, L000001896, YLR442C
Silencing protein; interacts with Sir2p, Sir4p, and histone H3 and H4 tails to establish transcriptionally silent chromatin state; required for spreading of silenced chromatin; recruited to chromatin through interaction with Rap1p; C-terminus (residues 840-978) assumes variant winged helix-turn-helix (wH) fold that mediates homodimerization, which is critical for holo-SIR complex loading; SIR3 has a paralog, ORC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

ARP9

RSC12, SWP59, L000003438, YMR033W
Component of both the SWI/SNF and RSC chromatin remodeling complexes; actin-related protein involved in transcriptional regulation
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Reconstituted Complex

An interaction is detected between purified proteins in vitro.

Publication

Direct interactions promote eviction of the Sir3 heterochromatin protein by the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling enzyme.

Manning BJ, Peterson CL

Heterochromatin is a specialized chromatin structure that is central to eukaryotic transcriptional regulation and genome stability. Despite its globally repressive role, heterochromatin must also be dynamic, allowing for its repair and replication. In budding yeast, heterochromatin formation requires silent information regulators (Sirs) Sir2p, Sir3p, and Sir4p, and these Sir proteins create specialized chromatin structures at telomeres and silent mating-type loci. ...
