Membrane protein involved in zinc ion homeostasis; member of the four-protein IZH family, expression induced by zinc deficiency; deletion reduces sensitivity to elevated zinc and shortens lag phase, overexpression reduces Zap1p activity
Component of the SSU and 90S preribosomes; involved in pre-18S rRNA processing; binds to U3 snoRNA and Mpp10p; multicopy suppressor of sensitivity to Brefeldin A; expression is induced during lag phase and also by cold shock
