YKU70

HDF1, NES24, KU70, L000000759, YMR284W
Subunit of the telomeric Ku complex (Yku70p-Yku80p); involved in telomere length maintenance, structure and telomere position effect; required for localization of telomerase ribonucleoprotein to nucleus 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)
PREY

RIF1

DNA-binding protein RIF1, L000001639, YBR275C
Protein that binds to the Rap1p C-terminus; acts synergistically with Rif2p to help control telomere length and establish telomeric silencing; contributes to resection of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs); deletion results in telomere elongation

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.

Suppression of telomere capping defects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yku70 and yku80 mutants by telomerase.

Holland CL, Sanderson BA, Titus JK, Weis MF, Riojas AM, Malczewskyj E, Wasko BM, Lewis LK

The Ku complex performs multiple functions inside eukaryotic cells, including protection of chromosomal DNA ends from degradation and fusion events, recruitment of telomerase, and repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs). Inactivation of Ku complex genes YKU70 or YKU80 in cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae gives rise to mutants that exhibit shortened telomeres and temperature-sensitive growth. In this study, we have ... [more]
