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)

SGV1

BUR1, cyclin-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase SGV1, L000001878, YPR161C
Cyclin (Bur2p)-dependent protein kinase; part of the BUR kinase complex which functions in transcriptional regulation; phosphorylates the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpo21p and the C-terminal repeat domain of Spt5p; recruits Spt6p to the CTD at the onset of transcription; regulated by Cak1p; similar to metazoan CDK9 proteins
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.

The bur1-107 mutant delays G1/S transition and alleviates hydroxyurea sensitivity in checkpoint-deficient yeast.

da Silva SCR, Bastos de Oliveira FM

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the cyclin-dependent kinase Bur1 is primarily known for its role in promoting transcription elongation, thereby regulating gene expression. In this study, we investigated the genetic interactions between a hypomorphic BUR1 allele (bur1-107) and null mutants of the checkpoint kinases Mec1 and Rad53. Remarkably, bur1-107 alleviated the sensitivity of mec1 and rad53 mutants to hydroxyurea (HU), suggesting that ... [more]
