PIF1

TST1, DNA helicase PIF1, L000001435, YML061C
DNA helicase, potent G-quadruplex DNA binder/unwinder; possesses strand annealing activity; promotes DNA synthesis during break-induced replication; important for crossover recombination; translation from different start sites produces mitochondrial and nuclear forms; nuclear form is a catalytic inhibitor of telomerase; mitochondrial form involved in DNA repair and recombination; mutations affect Zn, Fe homeostasis; regulated by Rad53p-dependent phosphorylation in rho0 cells
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

YKU80

HDF2, L000004089, YMR106C
Subunit of the telomeric Ku complex (Yku70p-Yku80p); involved in telomere length maintenance, structure and telomere position effect; required for localization of telomerase ribonucleoprotein via interaction with the TLC1 guide RNA; relocates to sites of double-strand cleavage to promote nonhomologous end joining during DSB repair
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.

Suppression of cdc13-2-associated senescence by pif1-m2 requires Ku-mediated telomerase recruitment.

Fekete-Szuecs E, Rosas Bringas FR, Stinus S, Chang M

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, recruitment of telomerase to telomeres requires an interaction between Cdc13, which binds single-stranded telomeric DNA, and the Est1 subunit of telomerase. A second pathway involving an interaction between the yKu complex and telomerase RNA (TLC1) contributes to telomerase recruitment but cannot sufficiently recruit telomerase on its own to prevent replicative senescence when the primary Cdc13-Est1 pathway is ...
