SPT16

CDC68, SSF1, chromatin-remodeling protein SPT16, L000002038, YGL207W
Subunit of the heterodimeric FACT complex (Spt16p-Pob3p); FACT associates with chromatin via interaction with Nhp6Ap and Nhp6Bp, and reorganizes nucleosomes to facilitate access to DNA by RNA and DNA polymerases; SPT16 specifically required for diauxic shift-induced H2B deposition onto rDNA genes; some mutations cause reduced nucleosome occupancy over highly transcribed regions of the yeast genome
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

ASF1

CIA1, nucleosome assembly factor ASF1, L000000126, YJL115W
Nucleosome assembly factor; involved in chromatin assembly and disassembly, anti-silencing protein that causes derepression of silent loci when overexpressed; plays a role in regulating Ty1 transposition; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

DNA replication-coupled (RC) nucleosome assembly is mediated by histone chaperones and is fundamental for epigenetic inheritance and maintenance of genomic integrity. The mechanisms that promote this process are only partially understood. Here, we show that the histone chaperone FACT (facilitates chromatin transactions), consisting of Spt16 and Pob3, promotes newly synthesized histone H3-H4 deposition. We describe an allele of Spt16 (spt16-m) ... [more]

Additional Notes

  • Combining spt16-m with asf1 null, rtt109 null, or an unmodifiable H3K56R mutant all resulted in more severe HU sensitivity
