DESCRIPTION

Also known as BUD32_YEAST, BUD32, LDB14. Component of the EKC/KEOPS complex that is required for the formation of a threonylcarbamoyl group on adenosine at position 37 (t(6)A37) in tRNAs that read codons beginning with adenine. The complex is probably involved in the transfer of the threonylcarbamoyl moiety of threonylcarbamoyl-AMP (TC-AMP) to the N6 group of A37. BUD32 has ATPase activity in the context of the EKC/KEOPS complex and likely plays a supporting role to the catalytic subunit KAE1. The EKC/KEOPS complex also promotes both telomere uncapping and telomere elongation. The complex is required for efficient recruitment of transcriptional coactivators. Important for bud site selection. Component of the EKC/KEOPS complex composed of at least BUD32, CGI121, GON7, KAE1 and PCC1; the whole complex dimerizes.
