The description of the protein encoded in this ORF: Subunit of the heme-activated, glucose-repressed Hap2p/3p/4p/5p CCAAT-binding complex, a transcriptional
activator and global regulator of respiratory gene expression; provides the principal activation function of
the complex.
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): 280-1944
Remarks:
Our mRNA sequence could be extended by ACCTCTC on its 5'-end to match the shortest full-length cDNA clone
(S03052-13_H21) as shown in SGD database in region chrXI:229155..236250
(http://db.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/locus.pl?locus=HAP4 and go for GBrowse). The primers used by Seino et al.
(2005) to copy the 5'-UTR region amplified only 270 bases and the cDNA region ended 2 nucleotides in front of
the initiator AUG:

Remarks:
Seino (2005) confirmed observation of Iizuka et al. 1994 that hap4 5'-UTR is translated in yeast cell lysates
in the presence of cap analogs. Further, Seino proposed cap-independent translation of HAP4 mRNA in stationary
phase in living yeast cells. On the contrary, Hecht (2002) reported that 5'-UTR of HAP4 is capable to drive
expression of promoter-less GFP construct and that this expression is induced in the presence of raffinose or
galactose but not in the presence of glucose.
