silencing requires Sir2, a highly-conserved NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase. At locations other than the rDNA, silencing also requires additional Sir proteins, Sir1, Sir3, and Sir4 that together form a repressive heterochromatin-like structure termed silent chromatin.

data provide the most complete picture to date of how the earliest SIR1-containing SIR silencing complex functioned and the evolutionary trajectories it may have followed
Title: Evolution and Functional Trajectory of Sir1 in Gene Silencing.

The functional specialization of Sir3,as a silencing protein was facilitated by the tandem duplication of the OIR domain in the Sir1 family, allowing distinct Sir1-Sir3 and Sir1-Orc1 interactions through OIR-BAH domain interactions.
Title: Elaboration, diversification and regulation of the Sir1 family of silencing proteins in Saccharomyces.

The functional duality might contribute to Sir1's selectivity for silencer-bound origin recognition complex in vivo.
Title: Phylogenetic conservation and homology modeling help reveal a novel domain within the budding yeast heterochromatin protein Sir1.

The role for Ku in silencing both HMR and HML was masked by SIR1.
