Small (67 amino acids) protein involved in sporulation; localizes to the prospore membrane; phosphorylated during meiosis; a longer, 5'-extended mRNA is also transcribed beginning in mid-meiosis, regulated by two MSEs (middle sporulation elements), and includes an uORF of 15 codons in its 5'-UTR; evidence transcription is regulated by Pdr1p [Source:SGD;Acc:S000028425]
Chromosome XVI: 645,950-646,153 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006949.2
