Function

ENLYS_BPT4 Endolysin with lysozyme activity that degrades host peptidoglycans and participates with the holin and spanin proteins in the sequential events which lead to the programmed host cell lysis releasing the mature viral particles. Once the holin has permeabilized the host cell membrane, the endolysin can reach the periplasm and break down the peptidoglycan layer.[1] UPC2_YEAST Transcription factor that is involved in activation of anaerobic genes such as DAN/TIR cell wall mannoprotein genes and YML083c. Appears to bind to anaerobic response elements (AR1) with the consensus sequence 5'-TCGTTYAG-3' present in the promoter regions of DAN/TIR genes. Involved in sterol uptake and regulation of the sterol biosynthesis. Binds to sterol regulatory elements (SRE) with the consensus sequence 5'-TCGTATA-3' present in ERG2 and ERG3 promoters. May be involved in down-regulation of CWP2 during anaerobic adaptation.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
