What's a GeneRIF?

Structural basis for RNA polymerase III transcription repression by Maf1 in humans and yeast has been uncovered.
Title: Structural basis for RNA polymerase III transcription repression by Maf1.
In a mutant compromised in RNAP III activity, there is a repartitioning towards amino acids synthesis de novo at the expense of glycolytic throughput. Conversely, cells lacking Maf1 protein have greater potential for glycolytic flux.
Title: Glycolytic flux in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is dependent on RNA polymerase III and its negative regulator Maf1.
correlation between CCA synthesis and Pol III regulation by Maf1 could be important in coordination of tRNA transcription, processing and regulation of translation
Title: Maf1-mediated regulation of yeast RNA polymerase III is correlated with CCA addition at the 3' end of tRNA precursors.
Sub1 and Maf1 also exhibit an opposite role on yeast chronological life span
Title: Sub1 and Maf1, two effectors of RNA polymerase III, are involved in the yeast quiescence cycle.
PKA modulates Maf1 protein abundance for stress and lifespan but not growth
Title: Distinct regulation of Maf1 for lifespan extension by Protein kinase A and Sch9.
Hypothesized that decreased FBP1 mRNA level could be due to the effect of Maf1 on tgm silencing (tRNA gene mediated silencing).
Title: Maf1, repressor of tRNA transcription, is involved in the control of gluconeogenetic genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Maf1-mediated repression of RNA polymerase III transcription inhibits tRNA degradation via RTD pathway.

Maf1-mediated transcription control and nuclear export by Los1 are two major stages of tRNA biosynthesis that are regulated by environmental conditions in a coordinated manner.
