ESA1

TAS1, NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex catalytic subunit ESA1, KAT5, L000003952, YOR244W
Catalytic subunit of the histone acetyltransferase complex (NuA4); acetylates four conserved internal lysines of histone H4 N-terminal tail and can acetylate histone H2A; master regulator of cellular acetylation balance; required for cell cycle progression and transcriptional silencing at the rDNA locus and regulation of autophagy; human ortholog TIP60/KAT5 is implicated in cancer and other diseases
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

SIF2

EMB1, YBR103W
WD40 repeat-containing subunit of Set3C histone deacetylase complex; complex represses early/middle sporulation genes; antagonizes telomeric silencing; binds specifically to the Sir4p N-terminus
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain mutated or deleted for another gene.

Acetylation is a dynamic posttranslational modification that contributes to chromatin-regulated processes, including DNA replication, repair, recombination, and gene expression. Acetylation is controlled by complexes containing opposing lysine and histone acetyltransferase (KAT and HAT) and deacetylase (KDAC and HDAC) activities. The essential MYST family Esa1 KAT acetylates core histones and many nonhistone substrates. Phenotypes of esa1 mutants include transcriptional silencing and ... [more]
