YLR150W
Systematic NameYLR150W
Standard NameSTM1
SynonymMPT4
Full Namepurine motif triplex-binding protein
DescriptionProtein that binds G4 quadruplex and purine motif triplex nucleic acid; acts with Cdc13p to maintain telomere structure; interacts with ribosomes and subtelomeric Y' DNA; multicopy suppressor of tom1 and pop2 mutations
CommentNull mutant is viable; overexpression of STM1 suppresses some phenotypes of pop2 null mutations and the temperature sensitivity of tom1 and htr1 mutants. Cells lacking Stm1 display deficiency in the apoptosis-like cell death process induced by treatment with low concentrations of H2O2. Survival is increased when Stm1 is completely missing from the cells or when inhibition of Stm1 synthesis permits proteasomal degradation to decrease its amount in the cell. Stm1 accumulation induces cell death.
