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

DIF1

YLR437C
Protein that regulates nuclear localization of Rnr2p and Rnr4p; phosphorylated by Dun1p in response to DNA damage and degraded; N-terminal half shows similarity to S. pombe Spd1 protein; DIF1 has a paralog, SML1, that arose from the whole genome duplication

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

Dif1 is a DNA-damage-regulated facilitator of nuclear import for ribonucleotide reductase.

Lee YD, Wang J, Stubbe J, Elledge SJ

The control of dNTP concentrations is critical to the fidelity of DNA synthesis and repair. One level of regulation is through subcellular localization of ribonucleotide reductase. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the small subunit Rnr2-Rnr4 is nuclear, whereas the large subunit Rnr1 is cytoplasmic. In response to S phase or DNA damage, Rnr2-Rnr4 enters the cytoplasm to bind Rnr1, forming an active ... [more]
