NHP6B

YBR090C-A, L000001246, YBR089C-A
High-mobility group (HMG) protein; binds to and remodels nucleosomes; involved in recruiting FACT and other chromatin remodelling complexes to the chromosomes; functionally redundant with Nhp6Ap; required for transcriptional initiation fidelity of some tRNA genes; homologous to mammalian HMGB1 and HMGB2; NHP6B has a paralog, NHP6A, 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.

Role for Nhp6, Gcn5, and the Swi/Snf complex in stimulating formation of the TATA-binding protein-TFIIA-DNA complex.

Biswas D, Imbalzano AN, Eriksson P, Yu Y, Stillman DJ

The TATA-binding protein (TBP), TFIIA, and TFIIB interact with promoter DNA to form a complex required for transcriptional initiation, and many transcriptional regulators function by either stimulating or inhibiting formation of this complex. We have recently identified TBP mutants that are viable in wild-type cells but lethal in the absence of the Nhp6 architectural transcription factor. Here we show that ... [more]

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.
