What's a GeneRIF?

forms part of Replication Protein A (RPA) heterotrimer; dynamic DNA-binding domains promote the cooperative assembly of multiple RPAs on long ssDNA
Title: A structural and dynamic model for the assembly of Replication Protein A on single-stranded DNA.
Post-translational modification of the Rfa2 N-terminus is not required for cells to deal with DNA damage; however, it might influence whether cells proceed into M-phase in the continued presence of unrepaired DNA lesions.
Title: The DNA damage response and checkpoint adaptation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: distinct roles for the replication protein A2 (Rfa2) N-terminus.
Results show that DNA damage response at eroded telomeres is characterized by the recruitment of Cdc13, replication protein A, DNA damage checkpoint proteins and the DNA repair protein Rad52 into a single focus.
Title: The DNA damage response at eroded telomeres and tethering to the nuclear pore complex.
Results suggests that RPA2 is necessary for structural integrity and may also be needed for intra- and/or inter-protein interactions.

Rfa2 serine 27 (S27) is required for Ime2-dependent Rfa2 phosphorylation in vivo.

Preferred Names: Rfa2p

NP_014087.1

Subunit of heterotrimeric Replication Protein A (RPA); RPA is a highly conserved single-stranded DNA binding protein involved in DNA replication, repair, and recombination; RPA protects against inappropriate telomere recombination, and upon telomere uncapping, prevents cell proliferation by a checkpoint-independent pathway; in concert with Sgs1p-Top2p-Rmi1p, stimulates DNA catenation/decatenation activity of Top3p; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication s
