Currently annotated as ORF but appears to function as lncRNA; mRNA identified as translated by ribosome profiling data; modulates pathways related to DNA replication, ER stress response, and ribosome biogenesis, enhancing cellular resilience to HU-induced stress; reduces sensitivity to 5-fluorocytosine, indicating role in antifungal drug tolerance; may influence phosphorylation states, potentially acting downstream of Mec1-Rad53 signaling pathway
