SAE2

COM1, ssDNA endodeoxyribonuclease SAE2, L000002892, YGL175C
Endonuclease required for telomere elongation; also required for telomeric 5' C-rich strand resection; involved in processing hairpin DNA structures with MRX complex; involved in double-strand break repair; required for normal resistance to DNA-damaging agents; exists in form of inactive oligomers that are transiently released into smaller active units by a series of phosphorylations; DNA damage triggers removal of Sae2p ensuring that active Sae2p is present only transiently
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

MEK1

MRE4, serine/threonine protein kinase MEK1, L000001062, L000001148, YOR351C
Meiosis-specific serine/threonine protein kinase; functions in meiotic checkpoint, promotes recombination between homologous chromosomes by suppressing double strand break repair between sister chromatids; stabilizes Hop1-Thr318 phosphorylation to promote interhomolog recombination and checkpoint responses during meiosis

Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Publication

An acidic loop in the FHA domain of the yeast meiosis-specific kinase Mek1 interacts with a specific motif in a subset of Mek1 substrates.

Weng Q, Wan L, Straker GC, Deegan TD, Duncker BP, Neiman AM, Luk E, Hollingsworth NM

The meiosis-specific kinase Mek1 regulates key steps in meiotic recombination in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. MEK1 limits resection at double strand break (DSB) ends and is required for preferential strand invasion into homologs, a process known as interhomolog bias. After strand invasion, MEK1 promotes phosphorylation of the synaptonemal complex protein Zip1 that is necessary for DSB repair mediated by ... [more]

Negative Genetic

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.
