GAS1 [YMR307W]
Glycolipid-anchored surface protein 1; Beta-1,3-glucanosyltransferase; required for cell wall assembly and also has a role in transcriptional silencing; localizes to cell surface via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor; also found at nuclear periphery; genetic interactions with histone H3 lysine acetyltransferases GCN5 and SAS3 indicate previously unsuspected functions for Gas1 in DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 72 family.
Synonyms: GAS1, GAS1p, P22146, GGP1, P22146p ...
