BAIT

SRB4

MED17, L000002051, YER022W
Subunit of the RNA polymerase II mediator complex; associates with core polymerase subunits to form the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme; required for basal RNA polymerase II transcription; homozygosity of the human MED17 L371P mutation is associated with infantile cerebral and cerebellar atrophy with poor myelination
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RAS2

CTN5, CYR3, GLC5, TSL7, Ras family GTPase RAS2, L000001583, YNL098C
GTP-binding protein; regulates nitrogen starvation response, sporulation, and filamentous growth; farnesylation and palmitoylation required for activity and localization to plasma membrane; homolog of mammalian Ras proto-oncogenes; RAS2 has a paralog, RAS1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Dosage Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene causes lethality in a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Publication

The C-terminal domain of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II is required for stationary phase entry and functionally interacts with the Ras/PKA signaling pathway.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ras proteins control cell growth by regulating the activity of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). In this study, a genetic approach was used to identify cellular processes that were regulated by Ras/PKA signaling activity. Interestingly, we found that mutations affecting the C-terminal domain (CTD), of Rpb1p, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, were very sensitive to ... [more]
