| UniProt functional annotation for P23615 | |||
| UniProt code: P23615. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Plays a role in maintenance of chromatin structure during RNA polymerase II transcription elongation thereby repressing transcription initiation from cryptic promoters. Mediates the reassembly of nucleosomes onto the promoters of at least a selected set of genes during repression; the nucleosome reassembly is essential for transcriptional repression. Essential for viability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12934008, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15531585, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16455495, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9450930}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with CTR9. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15531585}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2201908}. Note=Colocalizes with RNA polymerase II on chromatin. Recruited to the active transcribed loci. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 8890 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the SPT6 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
