Locus tag: YFL039C
See related: AllianceGenome:SGD:S000001855
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C (strain: S288C)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces
Also known as: ABY1; END7
Summary: Enables ATP hydrolysis activity. A structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Contributes to histone acetyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including ascospore wall assembly; mitotic actomyosin contractile ring contraction; and vacuole inheritance. Located in actin cytoskeleton. Part of Ino80 complex; NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex; and Swr1 complex. Used to study Moyamoya disease; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 20; patent ductus arteriosus; and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Baraitser-Winter syndrome; artery disease (multiple); atrial heart septal defect 5; intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple); and myopathy (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including ACTB (actin beta) and ACTG1 (actin gamma 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
