MEC1

ESR1, RAD31, SAD3, protein kinase MEC1, L000000586, S000029404, S000007656, YBR136W
Genome integrity checkpoint protein and PI kinase superfamily member; Mec1p and Dun1p function in same pathway to regulate dNTP pools and telomere length; signal transducer required for cell cycle arrest and transcriptional responses to damaged or unreplicated DNA; facilitates replication fork progression and regulates P-body formation under replication stress; promotes interhomolog recombination by phosphorylating Hop1p; associates with shortened, dysfunctional telomeres
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RAD50

MRX complex DNA-binding subunit, L000001570, YNL250W
Subunit of MRX complex with Mre11p and Xrs2p; complex is involved in processing double-strand DNA breaks in vegetative cells, initiation of meiotic DSBs, telomere maintenance, and nonhomologous end joining; forms nuclear foci upon DNA replication stress
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.

Sae2 controls Mre11 endo- and exonuclease activities by different mechanisms.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) must be repaired to ensure cell survival and genomic integrity. In yeast, the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 complex (MRX) collaborates with Sae2 to initiate DSB repair. Sae2 stimulates two MRX nuclease activities, endonuclease and 3'-5' exonuclease. However, how Sae2 controls the two nuclease activities remains enigmatic. Using a combined genetic and biochemical approach, we identified a separation-of-function rad50 mutation, rad50-C47, ... [more]
