MMS21

NSE2, PSO10, SUMO ligase MMS21, L000001125, YEL019C
SUMO ligase and component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex; this complex plays a key role in the removal of X-shaped DNA structures that arise between sister chromatids during DNA replication and repair; required for efficient sister chromatid cohesion; mutants are sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate and show increased spontaneous mutation and mitotic recombination; SUMOylates and inhibits Snf1p function

MLP2

S000007510, YIL149C
Myosin-like protein associated with the nuclear envelope; nuclear basket protein that connects the nuclear pore complex with the nuclear interior; involved in the Tel1p pathway that controls telomere length; MLP2 has a paralog, MLP1, 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.

Publication

A SUMO ligase is part of a nuclear multiprotein complex that affects DNA repair and chromosomal organization.

Through a genetic screen using myosin-like protein strains mlp1Delta mlp2Delta and biochemical purification, we identified a complex of eight proteins, each required for growth and DNA repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Among the subunits are Mms21 that contains a putative Siz/PIAS (protein inhibitor of activated signal transducer and activator of transcription) RING domain characteristic of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) ligases, two ...
