ESC2

L000004423, YDR363W
Sumo-like domain protein; prevents accumulation of toxic intermediates during replication-associated recombinational repair; roles in silencing, lifespan, chromatid cohesion and the intra-S-phase DNA damage checkpoint; RENi family member

SIZ1

ULL1, SUMO ligase SIZ1, S000007589, YDR409W
SUMO/Smt3 ligase; promotes attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier sumo (Smt3p) to proteins; regulates Rsp5p ubiquitin ligase activity and is in turn itself regulated by Rsp5p; binds Ubc9p and may bind septins; specifically required for sumoylation of septins in vivo; localized to the septin ring; SIZ1 has a paralog, NFI1, that arose from the whole genome duplication

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

Shared and distinct roles of Esc2 and Mms21 in suppressing genome rearrangements and regulating intracellular sumoylation.

Suhandynata RT, Gao YQ, Zhou AL, Yang Y, Wang PC, Zhou H

Protein sumoylation, especially when catalyzed by the Mms21 SUMO E3 ligase, plays a major role in suppressing duplication-mediated gross chromosomal rearrangements (dGCRs). How Mms21 targets its substrates in the cell is insufficiently understood. Here, we demonstrate that Esc2, a protein with SUMO-like domains (SLDs), recruits the Ubc9 SUMO conjugating enzyme to specifically facilitate Mms21-dependent sumoylation and suppress dGCRs. The D430R ... [more]
