relative distribution to nuclear foci decreases upon DNA replication stress [Source:SGD;Acc:S000005775] 0.6734912923796216 99 YDL007C-A Putative protein of unknown function [Source:SGD;Acc:S000113557] 0.6684273683391244 91 YDL186W Putative protein of unknown function; YDL186W is not an essential gene [Source:SGD;Acc:S000002345] 0.6669237600925294 93 YJL043W Putative protein of unknown function; YJL043W is a non-essential gene [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003579] 0.6551335019264327 95 YPR140W Lyso-phosphatidylcholine acyltransferase; required for normal phospholipid content of mitochondrial membranes; major determinant of the final acyl chain composition of the mitochondrial-specific phospholipid cardiolipin; mutations in human ortholog tafazzin (TAZ) cause Barth syndrome, a rare X-linked disease characterized by skeletal and cardiomyopathy and bouts of cyclic neutropenia; a specific splice variant of human TAZ can complement yeast null mutant [Source:SGD;Acc:S000006344] 0.6444554966586908 96 YBR168W Peroxisomal integral membrane protein; involved in negative regulation of peroxisome size; partially functionally redundant with Pex31p; genetic interactions suggest action at a step downstream of steps mediated by Pex28p and Pex29p [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000372] 0.6395188969510744 97 YFL041W Multicopper oxidase;
