NFI1 [YOR156C]
SAP and Miz-finger domain-containing protein 2; SUMO E3 ligase; catalyzes sumoylation of Yku70p/80p and Sir4p promoting telomere anchoring to the nuclear envelope and regulating telomerase activity; DNA-bound form catalyzes a DNA-damaged triggered sumoylation wave resulting in multisite modification of several DNA repair proteins, enhancing interactions between these proteins and accelerating repair; sumoylates Cse4p, a prerequisite for STUbL-mediated Ub-dependent degradation; role in telomere length maintenance; Belongs to the PIAS family.
