SLX8

SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase complex subunit SLX8, YER116C
Subunit of Slx5-Slx8 SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) complex; stimulated by prior attachment of SUMO to the substrate; contains a C-terminal RING domain; forms nuclear foci upon DNA replication stress; 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

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.

The Slx5-Slx8 complex affects sumoylation of DNA repair proteins and negatively regulates recombination.

Burgess RC, Rahman S, Lisby M, Rothstein R, Zhao X

Recombination is important for repairing DNA lesions, yet it can also lead to genomic rearrangements. This process must be regulated, and recently, sumoylation-mediated mechanisms were found to inhibit Rad51-dependent recombination. Here, we report that the absence of the Slx5-Slx8 complex, a newly identified player in the SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) pathway, led to increased Rad51-dependent and Rad51-independent recombination. The increases ... [more]
