General Information

No. Gene Name(s) Paragraph Text
76 TIF1 Gene Information: Tif1 is a non-ORC Type-I binding factor associated with ssDNA, particularly rDNA associated with replication initiation. Essential cis-acting replication determinant in ribosomal DNA origin of replication. (Location 5’ non-transcribed spacer) Limited homology to Whirly family proteins in plants (transcription factors that bind to single strand DNA target sequences), but this homology is restricted to the DNA binding domain.
77 TIF1 Nucleic Acid Interactions: Tif1 assocates with the A-rich strand of rDNA in vivo, and can be purified to associate with the T-rich strand in vitro.
78 TIF1 Biochemical Activities: Regulates timing of rDNA origin activation. Involved in the S phase DNA damage checkpoint response. Involved in unique ssDNA origin of replication recognition. TIF1 disruption mutants are hypersensitive to hydroxyurea and methylmethanesulfonate, inducers of DNA damage in all examined eukaryotes.
79 TIF1 Regulation & Expression: TIF1 interacts with A-rich strand at the rDNA origins and the T-rich strand at the rDNA promoter. TIF1p localization is dynamically regulated as it moves into the micro- and macronucleus during the respective S phases.
