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

Positive Genetic

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a less severe fitness defect than expected under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.

Essential Function of Mec1, the Budding Yeast ATM/ATR Checkpoint-Response Kinase, in Protein Homeostasis.

Corcoles-Saez I, Dong K, Johnson AL, Waskiewicz E, Costanzo M, Boone C, Cha RS

Unlike most checkpoint proteins, Mec1, an ATM/ATR kinase, is essential. We utilized mec1-4, a missense allele (E2130K) that confers diminished kinase activity, to interrogate the question. Unbiased screen for genetic interactors of mec1-4 identified numerous genes involved in proteostasis. mec1-4 confers sensitivity to heat, an amino acid analog, and Htt103Q, an aggregation-prone model peptide of Huntingtin. Oppositely, mec1-4 confers resistance ... [more]
