SIR proteins, or Silent Information Regulators, refer to a family of proteins that play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression, particularly in the context of silencing specific genomic regions. These proteins are most well-studied in the model organism *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*, or baker's yeast, where they are involved in the formation of heterochromatin and the maintenance of epigenetic states.
