RPB9

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
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

SPT3

transcriptional regulator SPT3, L000002029, YDR392W
Subunit of the SAGA and SAGA-like transcriptional regulatory complexes; interacts with Spt15p to activate transcription of some RNA polymerase II-dependent genes, also functions to inhibit transcription at some promoters; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
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.

Van Mullem V, Wery M, Werner M, Vandenhaute J, Thuriaux P

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]
