Mutations that affect tgm silencing and ribosomal RNA biosynthesis
| Gene name | Functions |
|---|---|
| Δrpa12 | Subunit of RNA polymerase I, nucleolar localization |
| Δrpa49 | Subunit of RNA polymerase I, nucleolar localization |
| Δrrn10 | Component of the upstream activation factor complex, activation of RNA pol I; null mutant shows defective RNA pol I transcription and defective RNA pol II silencing at the rRNA gene locus |
| Δuaf30 | Component of the upstream activation factor complex, nucleolar localization, activation of RNA pol I; null mutant shows defect of RNA pol II transcription silencing at the rRNA gene locus |
| cbf5-1 | rRNA pseudouridine synthase, nucleolar protein found in H/ACA snoRNP complexes; it was previously shown that cbf5-1 disorganizes pre-tRNA location and mildly disorders nucleolus (Ref. 6) |
