ESP1

L000000584, YGR098C
Separase, a caspase-like cysteine protease; promotes sister chromatid separation by mediating dissociation of the cohesin Scc1p from chromatin; inhibits protein phosphatase 2A-Cdc55p to promote mitotic exit; inhibited by Pds1p; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RSC30

YHR056C
Component of the RSC chromatin remodeling complex; non-essential gene required for regulation of ribosomal protein genes and the cell wall/stress response; null mutants are osmosensitive; RSC30 has a paralog, RSC3, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Dosage Growth Defect

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

A role for the budding yeast separase, Esp1, in Ty1 element retrotransposition.

Separase/Esp1 is a protease required at the onset of anaphase to cleave cohesin and thereby enable sister chromatid separation. Esp1 also promotes release of the Cdc14 phosphatase from the nucleolus to enable mitotic exit. To uncover other potential roles for separase, we performed two complementary genome-wide genetic interaction screens with a strain carrying the budding yeast esp1-1 separase mutation. We ... [more]
