Putative zinc finger DNA binding transcription factor; contains two N-terminal C2H2 zinc fingers and C-terminal proline rich domain; overproduction impairs cell growth and induces expression of genes involved in monosaccharide catabolism and aldehyde metabolism; regulates expression of of Y' telomeric elements and subtelomeric COS genes; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia; RGM1 has a paralog, USV1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
