Disease relevance of SAS5

Similarly, SAS5 is a member of a gene family that included two human genes that are the sites of recurring translocations involved in acute myeloid leukemia [1].
Yaf9, Taf14, and Sas5 comprise the YEATS domain family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which in humans includes proteins involved in acute leukemias [2].

High impact information on SAS5

Here we identify a ~450-kD SAS complex containing Sas2p, Sas4p, and the tf2f-related Sas5 protein [3].
Sas2 forms a complex with Sas4 and Sas5, which are required for its silencing function [4].
An unknown signal region was located in the N-terminal domain of Sas5p and was responsible for the nuclear import by Kap123p and Pse1p [5].

Other interactions of SAS5

Collectively, these data suggest that SAS2, SAS4, and SAS5 constitute a novel class of regulators of silencing and reveal fundamental differences in the regulation of silencing at HML and HMR [6].
Neither SAS4 nor SAS5 was required for viability [1].
