BTF1, TBP1, TATA-binding protein, TBP, L000002037, YER148W
TATA-binding protein; general transcription factor that interacts with other factors to form the preinitiation complex at promoters, essential for viability

SPT16

CDC68, SSF1, chromatin-remodeling protein SPT16, L000002038, YGL207W
Subunit of the heterodimeric FACT complex (Spt16p-Pob3p); FACT associates with chromatin via interaction with Nhp6Ap and Nhp6Bp, and reorganizes nucleosomes to facilitate access to DNA by RNA and DNA polymerases; SPT16 specifically required for diauxic shift-induced H2B deposition onto rDNA genes; some mutations cause reduced nucleosome occupancy over highly transcribed regions of the yeast genome
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.

The yeast FACT complex has a role in transcriptional initiation.

Biswas D, Yu Y, Prall M, Formosa T, Stillman DJ

A crucial step in eukaryotic transcriptional initiation is recognition of the promoter TATA by the TATA-binding protein (TBP), which then allows TFIIA and TFIIB to be recruited. However, nucleosomes block the interaction between TBP and DNA. We show that the yeast FACT complex (yFACT) promotes TBP binding to a TATA box in chromatin both in vivo and in vitro. The ... [more]

Dosage Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Synthetic Growth Defect

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.
