ESR1, RAD31, SAD3, protein kinase MEC1, L000000586, S000029404, S000007656, YBR136W
Genome integrity checkpoint protein and PI kinase superfamily member; Mec1p and Dun1p function in same pathway to regulate dNTP pools and telomere length; signal transducer required for cell cycle arrest and transcriptional responses to damaged or unreplicated DNA; facilitates replication fork progression and regulates P-body formation under replication stress; promotes interhomolog recombination by phosphorylating Hop1p; associates with shortened, dysfunctional telomeres

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.
Publication
The product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae WHIP/MGS1, a gene related to replication factor C genes, interacts functionally with DNA polymerase delta.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene WHIP/ MGS1 encodes a protein related to the subunits of Replication Factor C (RFC). We found that the RFC-like motifs in Whip/Mgs1 are essential for its function. Furthermore, by screening for synthetic dosage lethality, we have shown that overexpression of MGS1 causes lethality in combination with mutations in genes that encode replication proteins such as DNA ...
