What's a GeneRIF?

Single-molecule quantitation of RNA-binding protein occupancy and stoichiometry defines a role for Yra1 (Aly/REF) in nuclear mRNP organization.
Title: Single-molecule quantitation of RNA-binding protein occupancy and stoichiometry defines a role for Yra1 (Aly/REF) in nuclear mRNP organization.
the data provide evidence that Yra1 plays a crucial role in DSB repair via homologous recombination. While Yra1 sumoylation and/or ubiquitination are dispensable, the Yra1 C-box region is essential in this process.
Title: The mRNA export adaptor Yra1 contributes to DNA double-strand break repair through its C-box domain.
Yra1 binds RNA-DNA hybrids in vitro and, when artificially overexpressed, can be recruited to chromatin in an RNA-DNA hybrid-dependent manner, stabilizing R loops and converting them into replication obstacles in vivo
Title: Yra1-bound RNA-DNA hybrids cause orientation-independent transcription-replication collisions and telomere instability.
Both THO and Yra1-C stimulated Sub2's intrinsic ATPase activity. The authors propose that THO surveys common landmarks in each nuclear mRNP to localize Sub2 for targeted loading of Yra1.
Title: Structural and biochemical analyses of the DEAD-box ATPase Sub2 in association with THO or Yra1.
YRA1 overexpression causes a cell senescence-like phenotype and telomere shortening
Title: Excess of Yra1 RNA-Binding Factor Causes Transcription-Dependent Genome Instability, Replication Impairment and Telomere Shortening.
These data show that Yra1 inhibits unwinding in a concentration-dependent manner by preventing the association of Dbp2 with single-stranded RNA.
Title: Recruitment, Duplex Unwinding and Protein-Mediated Inhibition of the Dead-Box RNA Helicase Dbp2 at Actively Transcribed Chromatin.
the phospho-CTD is likely involved directly in the cotranscriptional recruitment of Yra1.
Title: Cotranscriptional association of mRNA export factor Yra1 with C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II.
Data indicate that Edc3p-mediated YRA1 pre-mRNA decay occurs independently of translation and also requires Mex67p.
Title: Degradation of YRA1 Pre-mRNA in the cytoplasm requires translational repression, multiple modular intronic elements, Edc3p, and Mex67p.
Yra1 binds directly to the Zn finger/Clp1 region of Pcf11, the pol II CTD-binding subunit of CF1A.
Title: Cotranscriptional recruitment of the mRNA export factor Yra1 by direct interaction with the 3' end processing factor Pcf11.
Nap1 interacts directly with Yra1. The recruitment of Nap1 to the coding region of actively transcribed genes is Yra1 dependent.
Title: Nap1 links transcription elongation, chromatin assembly, and messenger RNP complex biogenesis.

Preferred Names: RNA-binding protein YRA1

NP_010669.1

Nuclear polyadenylated RNA-binding protein; required for export of poly(A)+ mRNA from the nucleus; proposed to couple mRNA export with 3' end processing via its interactions with Mex67p and Pcf11p; interacts with DBP2; inhibits the helicase activity of Dbp2; functionally redundant with Yra2p, another REF family member
