THO2

LDB5, RLR1, ZRG13, L000002589, YNL139C
Subunit of the THO complex; THO is required for efficient transcription elongation and involved in transcriptional elongation-associated recombination; required for LacZ RNA expression from certain plasmids
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RRN3

L000003362, YKL125W
Protein required for transcription of rDNA by RNA polymerase I; transcription factor independent of DNA template; involved in recruitment of RNA polymerase I to rDNA; structure reveals unique HEAT repeat fold and a surface serine patch; phosphorylation of serine patch impairs cell growth and reduces RNA polymerase I binding in vitro and RNA polymerase I recruitment to the rDNA gene in vivo
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 Transcription Factor THO Promotes Transcription Initiation and Elongation by RNA Polymerase I.

Zhang Y, French SL, Beyer AL, Schneider DA

Although ribosomal RNA represents the majority of cellular RNA, and ribosome synthesis is closely connected to cell growth and proliferation rates, a complete understanding of the factors that influence transcription of ribosomal DNA is lacking. Here, we show that the THO complex positively affects transcription by RNA polymerase I (Pol I). We found that THO physically associates with the rDNA ... [more]
