MAF1

RNA polymerase III-inhibiting protein MAF1, L000002614, YDR005C
Highly conserved negative regulator of RNA polymerase III; involved in tRNA processing and stability; inhibits tRNA degradation via rapid tRNA decay (RTD) pathway; binds N-terminal domain of 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 nucleus and nucleolus under stress conditions

Subunit of the RNA polymerase II mediator complex; associates with core polymerase subunits to form the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme; required for stable association of Srb10p-Srb11p kinase; essential for transcriptional regulation

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

Publication

Genetic interactions of MAF1 identify a role for Med20 in transcriptional repression of ribosomal protein genes.

Transcriptional repression of ribosomal components and tRNAs is coordinately regulated in response to a wide variety of environmental stresses. Part of this response involves the convergence of different nutritional and stress signaling pathways on Maf1, a protein that is essential for repressing transcription by RNA polymerase (pol) III in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we identify the functions buffering yeast cells that ... [more]
