Preferred Label : silent information regulator proteins, saccharomyces cerevisiae;
MeSH definition : A set of nuclear proteins in SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE that are required for the transcriptional
repression of the silent mating type loci. They mediate the formation of silenced
CHROMATIN and repress both transcription and recombination at other loci as well.
They are comprised of 4 non-homologous, interacting proteins, Sir1p, Sir2p, Sir3p,
and Sir4p. Sir2p, an NAD-dependent HISTONE DEACETYLASE, is the founding member of
the family of SIRTUINS.;
MeSH synonym : silent information regulator proteins, s cerevisiae; sir proteins, s cerevisiae;
