ESA1

TAS1, NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex catalytic subunit ESA1, KAT5, L000003952, YOR244W
Catalytic subunit of the histone acetyltransferase complex (NuA4); acetylates four conserved internal lysines of histone H4 N-terminal tail and can acetylate histone H2A; master regulator of cellular acetylation balance; required for cell cycle progression and transcriptional silencing at the rDNA locus and regulation of autophagy; human ortholog TIP60/KAT5 is implicated in cancer and other diseases
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

BDF1

chromatin-binding protein BDF1, L000000165, YLR399C
Protein involved in transcription initiation; functions at TATA-containing promoters; associates with the basal transcription factor TFIID; contains two bromodomains; corresponds to the C-terminal region of mammalian TAF1; redundant with Bdf2p; BDF1 has a paralog, BDF2, that arose from the whole genome duplication
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.

Different sensitivities of bromodomain factors 1 and 2 to histone H4 acetylation.

Matangkasombut O, Buratowski S

The histone code hypothesis proposes that covalently modified histone tails are binding sites for specific proteins. In vitro evidence suggests that factors containing bromodomains read the code by binding acetylated histone tails. Bromodomain Factor 1 (Bdf1), a protein that associates with TFIID, binds histone H4 with preference for multiply acetylated forms. In contrast, the closely related protein Bdf2 shows no ... [more]
