The abbreviated name of this ORF/gene:
Ure2p-truncated
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF:
Nitrogen catabolite repression regulator that acts by inhibition of GLN3 transcription in good nitrogen source; N-terminally truncated form of Ure2p (lacking amino acids 1-93) lacks the prion-forming domain.
The translational frameshift (ribosome slippage) involved:
  0
The ribosome read-through involved:
  no
The alternative forms of this protein occur by the alternative initiation of translation:
  no
The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents):
  496-1281
OPTIONAL: The function of the encoded protein
Molecular Function: phosphoprotein binding, transcription corepressor activity
Biological Process: cytoplasmic sequestering of transcription factor,regulation of nitrogen
utilization, response to aluminum ion, telomere maintenance Cellular Component: cytosol-soluble fraction
Remarks:
42 kDa and 30 kDa forms of Ure2p are detected in yeast cells. The 42 kDa isoform stems from translation
initiation on the first AUG (position 1), while N-terminally truncated 30 kDa isoform results from translation
initiation on AUG at position 94 of amino acids sequence.

To yield full-length 5'-UTR the mRNA sequence was extended by the sequence of full-length cDNA S03052-29_D08
from SGD database (http://db.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/locus.pl?locus=URE2 and go for GBrowse).

Remarks:
Internal initiation mediated by Ure2 IRES leads to the synthesis of N-terminally truncated form of the
protein (amino acids 94-354) lacking prion-forming domain. It is supposed that balance between
cap-dependently translated full-length and truncated Ure2p forms plays an important role in yeast cell
physiology and differentiation. The yeast initiation factor eIF2A functions as a suppressor of Ure2
IRES-mediated translation.
