NHP6B

YBR090C-A, L000001246, YBR089C-A
High-mobility group (HMG) protein; binds to and remodels nucleosomes; involved in recruiting FACT and other chromatin remodelling complexes to the chromosomes; functionally redundant with Nhp6Ap; required for transcriptional initiation fidelity of some tRNA genes; homologous to mammalian HMGB1 and HMGB2; NHP6B has a paralog, NHP6A, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

SPT3

transcriptional regulator SPT3, L000002029, YDR392W
Subunit of the SAGA and SAGA-like transcriptional regulatory complexes; interacts with Spt15p to activate transcription of some RNA polymerase II-dependent genes, also functions to inhibit transcription at some promoters; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

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.

Regulation of TATA-binding protein binding by the SAGA complex and the Nhp6 high-mobility group protein.

Yu Y, Eriksson P, Bhoite LT, Stillman DJ

Transcriptional activation of the yeast HO gene involves the sequential action of DNA-binding and chromatin-modifying factors. Here we examine the role of the SAGA complex and the Nhp6 architectural transcription factor in HO regulation. Our data suggest that these factors regulate binding of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) to the promoter. A gcn5 mutation, eliminating the histone acetyltransferase present in SAGA, ... [more]

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.
