GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. H2A.1 promotes high-fidelity homologous recombination, sister chromatid recombination (SCR), and break-induced replication whereas H2A.2 does not share these functions. Both decreased SCR and the increase in CAG expansions were due to the unique Thr126 residue in H2A.1 and hta1Delta or hta1-T126A mutants were epistatic to deletion of the Poldelta subunit Pol32, suggesting a role for H2A.1 in D-loop extension.

  2. The data identifies novel roles of the histone H2A N-tail in (i) regulating the expression of a critical BER enzyme (Mag1), (ii) supporting efficient DNA damage signaling and (iii) facilitating postreplication repair.
    Title: The amino-terminal tails of histones H2A and H3 coordinate efficient base excision repair, DNA damage signaling and postreplication repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  3. H2A phosphorylation promotes two independent events, rapid Rad9 recruitment to DSBs and subsequent remodeling by NuA4, SWR, and INO80.
    Title: Yeast G1 DNA damage checkpoint regulation by H2A phosphorylation is independent of chromatin remodeling.
