CTR9

CDP1, L000003477, YOL145C
Component of the Paf1p complex involved in transcription elongation; binds to and modulates the activity of RNA polymerases I and II; required for expression of a subset of genes, including cyclin genes; involved in SER3 repression by helping to maintain SRG1 transcription-dependent nucleosome occupancy; contains TPR repeats
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

SET2

EZL1, histone methyltransferase SET2, KMT3, L000003090, YJL168C
Histone methyltransferase with a role in transcriptional elongation; methylates H3 lysine 36 (H3K36), which suppresses incorporation of acetylated histones and signals for the deacetylation of these histones within transcribed genes; associates with the C-terminal domain(CTD) of Rpo21p; H3K36me3 (trimethylation) requires Spt6p, proline 38 on H3, CTD of Rpo21p, Ctk1p, and C-terminal SRI domain of Ste2p; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
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.

A conserved genetic interaction between Spt6 and Set2 regulates H3K36 methylation.

Gopalakrishnan R, Marr SK, Kingston RE, Winston F

The transcription elongation factor Spt6 and the H3K36 methyltransferase Set2 are both required for H3K36 methylation and transcriptional fidelity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the nature of the requirement for Spt6 has remained elusive. By selecting for suppressors of a transcriptional defect in an spt6 mutant, we have isolated several highly clustered, dominant SET2 mutations (SET2sup mutations) in a region encoding ... [more]

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.
