byr3 — Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h-

Summary

byr3 (SPAC13D6.02C) on chromosome 1 encodes a zinc knuckle (Znf_CCHC) domain protein with translation regulator and activator activities, mRNA and ssRNA binding, and DNA binding. It is associated with positive regulation of cytoplasmic translation, posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, and regulation of gene expression. The gene is linked to spindle assembly, nuclear division, mitosis, chromosome division, and sporulation. Its product localises to the nucleolus, cytoplasm, and cytosol. Related genes in other species encode zinc knuckle domain proteins.
