BAIT

SPT6

CRE2, SSN20, chromatin-remodeling histone chaperone SPT6, L000002032, YGR116W
Nucleosome remodeling protein; functions in various aspects of transcription, chromatin maintenance, and RNA processing; required for the maintenance of chromatin structure during transcription in order to inhibit transcription from promoters within the coding region; required for H3K36 trimethylation but not dimethylation by Set2p
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

MCM2

MCM DNA helicase complex subunit MCM2, L000001038, YBL023C
Protein involved in DNA replication; component of the Mcm2-7 hexameric helicase complex that binds chromatin as a part of the pre-replicative complex; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Affinity Capture-MS

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner is identified by mass spectrometric methods.

Spt6-Spn1 interaction is required for RNA polymerase II association and precise nucleosome positioning along transcribed genes.

Spt6-Spn1 is an essential histone chaperone complex that associates with RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and reassembles nucleosomes during gene transcription. While the interaction between Spt6 and Spn1 is important for its histone deposition and transcription functions, a precise mechanistic understanding is still limited. Here, using temperature-sensitive alleles of spt6 and spn1 that disrupt their interaction in yeast, we show that ... [more]

Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

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.
