High impact information on NUT1

  • Sequence alignment shows significant similarity of Nut1 to the GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase superfamily [1].
  • Three lines of evidence identify the Nut1 subunit of Mediator as responsible for the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity [1].
  • These results suggest that Nut1p, Nut2p, Sin4p, and Ccr4p define a group of proteins that negatively regulate transcription in a subtle manner which is revealed by artificial reporter genes [2].
  • Nuclear proteins Nut1p and Nut2p cooperate to negatively regulate a Swi4p-dependent lacZ reporter gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2].
  • We found that NUT1 (open reading frame [ORF] YGL151w) is a nonessential gene, that NUT2 (ORF YPR168w) is essential, and that both Nut1p and Nut2p encode nuclear proteins [2].
 

Biological context of NUT1

 

Other interactions of NUT1

  • A second lower molecular size complex was also identified, termed Mediator core (Medc), which lacked pol II, Srb8-11, Rox3, Nut1, and the Rgrl module [4].
