What's a GeneRIF?

Aberrant association of chromatin with nuclear periphery induced by Rif1 leads to mitotic defect.
Title: Aberrant association of chromatin with nuclear periphery induced by Rif1 leads to mitotic defect.
Results illustrate functional domains of Rif1 and indicate importance of both the N-terminal HEAT repeat segment and C-terminal G4 binding/oligomerization domain as well as other functionally unassigned segments of Rif1 in regulation of origin firing.
Title: Both a Unique Motif at the C Terminus and an N-Terminal HEAT Repeat Contribute to G-Quadruplex Binding and Origin Regulation by the Rif1 Protein.
The higher-order structure generated at Rif1 binding sequence involved both DNA strands, and in some cases, G4s may form on both of these strands.
Title: Molecular architecture of G-quadruplex structures generated on duplex Rif1-binding sequences.
Genetic screens for identifying cis- and trans-acting factors creating heterochromatin-euchromatin boundaries showed unexpected properties for Rif1 and Taz1. Most cis-acting elements identified came from genomic loci bound by Taz1 and associated with origins of replication repressed by Taz1 and Rif1. Boundary formation by these elements required Taz1 and Rif1 and coincided with altered replication timing.
Title: Establishment of expression-state boundaries by Rif1 and Taz1 in fission yeast.
Rif1 is a critical determinant of the origin activation program on the fission yeast chromosomes [Rif1] [strain not found in database]
Title: Rif1 is a global regulator of timing of replication origin firing in fission yeast.
Rif1 localizes to the anaphase mid-region and regulates the resolution of persisting DNA structures.
Title: Rif1 Regulates the Fate of DNA Entanglements during Mitosis.
These results suggest that Rif1 recognizes and binds G quadruplex-like structures at selected intergenic regions, thus generating local chromatin structures that may exert long-range suppressive effects on origin firing.
Title: Rif1 binds to G quadruplexes and suppresses replication over long distances.
Rap1 and Rif1 are each required for a subset of the functions of Taz1
Title: Taz1, Rap1 and Rif1 act both interdependently and independently to maintain telomeres.
