PIF1

TST1, DNA helicase PIF1, L000001435, YML061C
DNA helicase, potent G-quadruplex DNA binder/unwinder; possesses strand annealing activity; promotes DNA synthesis during break-induced replication; important for crossover recombination; translation from different start sites produces mitochondrial and nuclear forms; nuclear form is a catalytic inhibitor of telomerase; mitochondrial form involved in DNA repair and recombination; mutations affect Zn, Fe homeostasis; regulated by Rad53p-dependent phosphorylation in rho0 cells
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

TOP3

EDR1, DNA topoisomerase 3, L000002321, YLR234W
DNA Topoisomerase III; conserved protein that functions in a complex with Sgs1p and Rmi1p to relax single-stranded negatively-supercoiled DNA preferentially; DNA catenation/decatenation activity stimulated by RPA and Sgs1p-Top2p-Rmi1p; involved in telomere stability and regulation of mitotic recombination
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 absence of Top3 reveals an interaction between the Sgs1 and Pif1 DNA helicases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Wagner M, Price G, Rothstein R

RecQ DNA helicases and Topo III topoisomerases have conserved genetic, physical, and functional interactions that are consistent with a model in which RecQ creates a recombination-dependent substrate that is resolved by Topo III. The phenotype associated with Topo III loss suggests that accumulation of a RecQ-created substrate is detrimental. In yeast, mutation of the TOP3 gene encoding Topo III causes ... [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.

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.
