SSU73, DNA-directed RNA polymerase II core subunit RPB9, B12.6, SHI, L000001683, L000001880, YGL070C
RNA polymerase II subunit B12.6; contacts DNA; mutations affect transcription start site selection and fidelity of transcription

GCN5

AAS104, ADA4, SWI9, histone acetyltransferase GCN5, KAT2, L000000684, YGR252W
Catalytic subunit of ADA and SAGA histone acetyltransferase complexes; modifies N-terminal lysines on histones H2B and H3; acetylates Rsc4p, a subunit of the RSC chromatin-remodeling complex, altering replication stress tolerance; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia; mutant displays reduced transcription elongation in the G-less-based run-on (GLRO) assay; greater involvement in repression of RNAPII-dependent transcription than in activation
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Lethality

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

Publication

The Rpb9 subunit of RNA polymerase II binds transcription factor TFIIE and interferes with the SAGA and elongator histone acetyltransferases.

Rpb9 is a small subunit of yeast RNA polymerase II participating in elongation and formed of two conserved zinc domains. rpb9 mutants are viable, with a strong sensitivity to nucleotide-depleting drugs. Deleting the C-terminal domain down to the first 57 amino acids has no detectable growth defect. Thus, the critical part of Rpb9 is limited to a N-terminal half that ... [more]
