Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; DNA helicase activity; and telomerase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA metabolic process; G-quadruplex DNA unwinding; and negative regulation of telomere maintenance via telomerase. Located in mitochondrial membrane; replication fork; and site of double-strand break. Is active in nuclear replication fork. Used to study cancer and progeria. Orthologous to human PIF1 (PIF1 5'-to-3' DNA helicase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Preferred Names: DNA helicase PIF1

NP_013650.1

EC 3.6.4.12

DNA helicase, potent G-quadruplex DNA binder/unwinder; possesses strand annealing activity; promotes DNA synthesis during break-induced replication; involved in crossover recombination; works with Hrq1p to maintain telomere length homeostasis; translation from different start sites produces mitochondrial (DNA repair and recombination) and nuclear (catalytic inhibitor of telomerase) isoforms; mutations affect Zn, Fe homeostasis; regulated by Rad53p-dependent phosphorylation in rho0 cells
