E3 ubiquitin ligase and putative helicase; involved in synthesis-dependent strand annealing-mediated homologous recombination; ensures precise end-joining along with Srs2p in the Yku70p/Yku80p/Lig4p-dependent NHEJ pathway; controls 2-um plasmid copy number by regulating the levels of the Flp1p recombinase; localizes to both the mitochondrion and the nucleus; contains a Snf2/Swi2 family ATPase/helicase and a RING finger domain; null mutant displays increased levels of spontaneous Rad52p foci
