What's a GeneRIF?

In the absence of Set1, there is loss of the DNA-binding transcriptional regulator Sum1 and the associated histone deacetylase Hst1 from chromatin in a locus-specific manner
Title: Repression of Middle Sporulation Genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the Sum1-Rfm1-Hst1 Complex Is Maintained by Set1 and H3K4 Methylation.
high copies of Sum1p stabilize microtubules against a variety of adverse and destabilizing conditions like mutations, low temperatures and drugs.
Title: High copies of SUM1 enhance the stability of wild-type microtubules against adverse conditions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
These observations suggest that Sum1p is a novel regulator of microtubule function and as such, works independently from its binding partners Hst1 and Sir2 histone deacetylases.
Title: The budding yeast protein Sum1 functions independently of its binding partners Hst1 and Sir2 histone deacetylases to regulate microtubule assembly.
Midsporulation elements in the SPS18-SPS19 promoter region are targeted by the Sum1p repressor in association with Hst1p and Rfm1p.
Title: Avoiding unscheduled transcription in shared promoters: Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sum1p represses the divergent gene pair SPS18-SPS19 through a midsporulation element (MSE).
Data show that the Sum1 repressor can be removed from middle promoters in meiotic cells independent of Ndt80 expression, and that this process requires the phosphorylation of Sum1 by Ime2.
Title: The Ime2 protein kinase enhances the disassociation of the Sum1 repressor from middle meiotic promoters.
Sum1 was found to functioned in initiation as a component of the Sum1/Rfm1/Hst1 complex, implying a role for histone deacetylation in origin activity.
Title: Control of replication initiation by the Sum1/Rfm1/Hst1 histone deacetylase.
The mating-type regulatory function of Sum1 was conserved in S. cerevisiae.
Title: Interspecies variation reveals a conserved repressor of alpha-specific genes in Saccharomyces yeasts.
isoleucine enabled Sum1-1p to associate with the origin recognition complex (ORC) and accumulate near ORC binding sites
Title: Evolution of new function through a single amino acid change in the yeast repressor Sum1p.
Sum1p is functionally connected to the origin recognition complex.
Title: Sum1p, the origin recognition complex, and the spreading of a promoter-specific repressor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Data indicate that Sum1-1p can increase the stability of Sir-dependent silent chromatin.
