BAIT

SPT6

CRE2, SSN20, chromatin-remodeling histone chaperone SPT6, L000002032, YGR116W
Nucleosome remodeling protein; functions in various aspects of transcription, chromatin maintenance, and RNA processing; required for the maintenance of chromatin structure during transcription in order to inhibit transcription from promoters within the coding region; required for H3K36 trimethylation but not dimethylation by Set2p
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

MCM2

MCM DNA helicase complex subunit MCM2, L000001038, YBL023C
Protein involved in DNA replication; component of the Mcm2-7 hexameric helicase complex that binds chromatin as a part of the pre-replicative complex; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

The conserved histone chaperone Spt6 is strongly required for DNA replication and genome stability.

Miller CLW, Winston F

Histone chaperones are an important class of proteins that regulate chromatin accessibility for DNA-templated processes. Spt6 is a conserved histone chaperone and key regulator of transcription and chromatin structure. However, its functions outside of these roles have been little explored. In this work, we demonstrate a requirement for S. cerevisiae Spt6 in DNA replication and, more broadly, as a regulator of ... [more]
