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.

Upon replication stress, budding yeast checkpoint kinase Mec1ATR triggers the downregulation of transcription, thereby reducing the level of RNA polymerase (RNAP) on chromatin to facilitate replication fork progression. Here, we identify a hydroxyurea-induced phosphorylation site on Mec1, Mec1-S1991, that contributes to the eviction of RNAPII and RNAPIII during replication stress. The expression of the non-phosphorylatable mec1-S1991A mutant reduces replication fork ... [more]
