SET1

YTX1, histone methyltransferase SET1, KMT2, L000003286, YHR119W
Histone methyltransferase, subunit of the COMPASS (Set1C) complex; COMPASS methylates histone H3K4; Set1p-dependent H3K4 trimethylation recruits Nrd1p, allowing efficient termination of snoRNAs and cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) by Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p pathway; modulates histone acetylation levels in promoter proximal regions to ensure efficient Nrd1p-dependent termination; required in transcriptional silencing near telomeres and at silent mating type loci; has a SET domain
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

DOT1

PCH1, histone methyltransferase DOT1, KMT4, L000004390, L000004273, YDR440W
Nucleosomal histone H3-Lys79 methylase; methylation is required for telomeric silencing, meiotic checkpoint control, and DNA damage response
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Publication

Dot1-dependent histone H3K79 methylation promotes the formation of meiotic double-strand breaks in the absence of histone H3K4 methylation in budding yeast.

Bani Ismail M, Shinohara M, Shinohara A

Epigenetic marks such as histone modifications play roles in various chromosome dynamics in mitosis and meiosis. Methylation of histones H3 at positions K4 and K79 is involved in the initiation of recombination and the recombination checkpoint, respectively, during meiosis in the budding yeast. Set1 promotes H3K4 methylation while Dot1 promotes H3K79 methylation. In this study, we carried out detailed analyses ... [more]
