Previously uncharacterized lysine-specific methyltransferase FAM86A and Yjr129c introduce a functionally important lysine methylation in eEF2.
Title: Identification and characterization of a novel evolutionarily conserved lysine-specific methyltransferase targeting eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2).

Deletion of EFM2 or EFM3 increased sensitivity to translation inhibitors, indicating changes in the ability for EF2 to interact and communicate with ribosomal components.
Title: Translational roles of elongation factor 2 protein lysine methylation.

Propose that YJR129C be named elongation factor methyltransferase 3 (Efm3). An immunoblotting screen of 21 putative methyltransferases showed a loss in the methylation of elongation factor 2 (EF2) on knockout of YJR129C.
Title: Elongation factor methyltransferase 3--a novel eukaryotic lysine methyltransferase.

the contribution of the ER24 gene product Ylr376Cp and of the two suppressor gene products Yjl185Cp and Yjr129Cp to a complex regulation of the glyoxylate cycle in yeast
Title: The YJL185C, YLR376C and YJR129C genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are probably involved in regulation of the glyoxylate cycle.
