What's a GeneRIF?

Impairment of transcription factor Gcr1p binding motif perturbs OPI3 transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Title: Impairment of transcription factor Gcr1p binding motif perturbs OPI3 transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Phosphatidylcholine formation was observed not only in nanodiscs containing inserted Opi3 but also in nanodiscs devoid of the enzyme containing the lipid substrate. This result gives a clear indication for in trans catalysis by Opi3; i.e., it acts on the substrate in juxtaposed membranes, while in cis lipid conversion may also contribute.
