SLX5

HEX3, ULS2, SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase complex subunit SLX5, L000000768, YDL013W
Subunit of the Slx5-Slx8 SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) complex; stimulated by SUMO-modified substrates; contains a RING domain and two SIM motifs; forms SUMO-dependent nuclear foci, including DNA repair centers; associates with the centromere; null mutants are aneuploid, have a metaphase delay, and spindle defects including: mispositioned spindles, fish hook spindles, and aberrant spindle kinetics; required for maintenance of genome integrity like human ortholog RNF4
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Phenotypic Suppression

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or over expression of one gene results in suppression of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

SUMO-Targeted Ubiquitin Ligases (STUbLs) Reduce the Toxicity and Abnormal Transcriptional Activity Associated With a Mutant, Aggregation-Prone Fragment of Huntingtin.

Cell viability and gene expression profiles are altered in cellular models of neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's Disease (HD). Using the yeast model system, we show that the SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) Slx5 reduces the toxicity and abnormal transcriptional activity associated with a mutant, aggregation-prone fragment of huntingtin (Htt), the causative agent of HD. We demonstrate that expression of an ... [more]

  • Low Throughput

Additional Notes

  • auto-activation of a transcriptional reporter by Htt-55Q fused to a transcriptional activation domain is reduced upon expression of SLX5 fused to a DNA-binding domain
  • expression of SLX5 from a plasmid reduced the aggregation of Htt-103Q protein
  • plasmid-borne SLX5 reduces Htt-103Q aggregates in chromatin
  • plasmid-borne SLX5 reduces transcriptional changes caused by Htt-103Q-NLS

Dosage Lethality

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

Synthetic Growth Defect
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.
