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

STN1

L000003921, YDR082W
Telomere end-binding and capping protein; plays a key role with Pol12p in linking telomerase action with completion of lagging strand synthesis, and in a regulatory step required for telomere capping; similar to human Stn1

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.

Stn1 supports Mec1 function in protecting stalled replication forks from degradation.

Casari E, Corallo F, Milani LE, Tisi R, Longhese MP

Replication stress threatens genome integrity by exposing replication forks to nucleolytic degradation. In both yeast and humans, the checkpoint kinases Mec1 and Rad53 limit deleterious single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), yet the protective mechanisms remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify a role for the CST subunit Stn1 in cooperating with Mec1 to restrain ssDNA formation under nucleotide depletion. A gain-of-function allele (stn1-L60F) ... [more]
